Every Retreat participant is encouraged to participate in all learning activities and complete a unique process of learning and teaching to become a Tamarack Peer Coach. Those seeking this recognition will be required to demonstrate that they have met certain requirements. For more information about becoming a Tamarack Peer Coach, contact Rachel Gainer at rachel@tamarackcommunity.ca.
Tamarack is a charitable organization. As such, we do this work within our means. The development of the learning community represents our hope that the Retreat will be a mutual experience shared by both the learner and the sponsors. The cost for participation is, therefore, also shared.
The full cost of the program includes three days of on-site learning, lunches, breaks, materials and five months of online laerning. Alumni of Tamarack's Communities Collaborating Institute, and groups of three or more from the same organization or collaborative will receive a special rate.
Program fees for the next Collaborative Leadership Retreat are to be determined. For more information, contact us at tamarack@tamarackcommunity.ca.
