In 1991, Tamsin Plaxton, a young lawyer, and Matt Collingwood, a young banker, met at a social event in Vancouver, Canada, and through their conversation, that day discovered that they both had worked at summer camps through their university years (Tamsin in Europe and Matt in Canada) and had a passion for kids and camps. Two years later they quit their jobs in law and banking to start Tamwood International Camps.

Their first camp was opened in Whistler in July 1993, and over the years the business grew to include adult English schools, Tamwood Careers College, a work and travel department called GO international, and more camp locations and programs. Initially, the operations were located in Canada only, but as demand from overseas grew and more nationalities become interested in sending their children abroad, Tamsin and Matt expanded Tamwood Camps into the USA and then in 2020 added online adult and junior programs.

Tamwood continues to be owned and actively managed by the founders, Tamsin Plaxton and Matt Collingwood. Stay tuned for more history in the making as Tamwood is always refining its existing programs and adding new programs and locations to reflect the ever-changing needs of our global campers and their families.
