• Ages: 7–16 years old
Camp Kamaji has been shaping young lives for over a century. It is a family-run camp directed by co-owners Kat Martin and Jason Nelson; Kat is a Kamaji alumna and former camper, and Kat and Jason together direct Camp Kamaji for Girls. The camp has a leadership development program that uses a system of progressive skill development, daily personal choice periods, and special activities. Campers are encouraged to come to camp without knowing anyone else there, to try activities they have never done before, and to challenge themselves to step outside of their comfort zone. Campers join a color-based tribe their first summer and return to that same tribe every year, and campers are recognized for their individual accomplishments and efforts, such as a camper who becomes known for wearing red cowboy boots every day or a camper who receives support from the audience if she gets stage fright during a Variety Show solo. The camp describes itself as a place for campers to unplug, try new activities, learn new skills, be silly and goofy, develop a true sense of self, be deliriously happy, and make strong friendships with campers and staff. Camp Kamaji notes that its community rallies around each other to celebrate each other’s courage in a safe, encouraging, supportive, and fun environment. Camp Kamaji is pleased to partner with outside entities, though specific partners are not listed in the provided information.
Parent and staff testimonials describe Camp Kamaji as having a great culture, a welcoming vibe, super fun activities, involved and invested directors, happy and well-cared-for campers, great food, and a beautiful setting, and one camper calls it the “greatest place on the planet.”
