"It's sometimes hard for people to believe that a day spent canoeing or balanc- ing between tree tops can change a team dynamic or make you a better listener and more confident leader," Zoup! President Richard Simtob said. "But when Zoup! spent a day- and-a-half at Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center, we saw our group challenged in so many new ways, and different teams from within our com- pany grew closer together." The Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center has full-time and seasonal staff with certifications in environ- mental education, team building and outdoor living skills. Mark Noble joined the team as business sales manager in August and is respon- sible for expanding the Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center client reach across the entire country. Housing options are available for those opting for an overnight stay. Groups can comfortably rest their heads at any of the recently updated winterized villages located on Tamarack's main campus. Each village can accommodate as many as 128 guests, and there are private, central lodges within each village designed for team leaders. Visitors seeking a more luxurious setting can reserve the Butzel Retreat Center, which includes upscale sleeping quarters, full showers, a fireplace and housekeeping services. Nutritious meals are served three times daily. Guests are provided a main course, along with a full break- fast bar and salad bar. Fresh fruit, along with a sandwich-making sta- tion featuring jelly and non-peanut butter products are available with each meal. The Tamarack kitchen abides by kosher food laws, with guidance provided by the VAAD of Metropolitan Detroit. Along with the new name, logo and expanded outreach, Tamarack Adventure & Retreat Center is sup- porting its rebranding with a new website that will go live next year — tamarackadventure.com — and enhanced digital advertising and social media footprints. While Tamarack's mission extends beyond the Jewish community, the organization continues to stay true to its roots. "The goal is to generate revenue during the non-summer months to help us to continue to fulfill our mission of providing qual- ity Jewish camping experiences to kids in our community, respectful of financial ability as we have done for 115 summers," Engel said. In addition to summertime camping and travel opportunities, Tamarack continues to host year- round Shabbatons, weddings, and bar and bat mitzvahs. • Two co-workers working together to complete the 40-foot vertical Tango Tower, an activity that fosters trust and collaboration.
