What Parents & Campers Say About Kamaji:
“At Kamaji, there is a focus on creating community. It’s just such a special place, because it’s giving these girls the opportunity to be who they are without any pretense. You don’t have the pressures of social media. You are there, who you are, without armor.”
– Tracy, parent, Evanston
“Kamaji campers have the unique opportunity to be who they are, and they are encouraged to push their boundaries in a safe space.”
– Cassidy, parent, Chicago
Because of camp I feel much more confident. If I can live with complete strangers, drop a ski, help care for 12-year-olds and do other camp-related activities, I can take on other independent challenges that I will face in the future.
– 15 years old; 5th summer; Glencoe, IL
My counselor was kind and always there to listen to her campers. She gave good hugs and made sure we all felt happy.

What makes Kamaji Special?
A community just for girls
Girls feel free to be themselves, try new things, and connect without the pressures and noise from home and school.

Confidence that carries into the school year
They return home more confident, brave, and independent.

Staff who truly know your daughter
We keep cabin sizes small, so each camper feels seen, supported and encouraged. Kat is “camp mom” and a part of the day-to-day of camp with her campers.
Not Ready to Schedule Yet?
We can send you an information booklet to look through when you have time./h3>
We’re here to help you find the right summer experience for your daughter. Whether you’re brand new to camp or researching and comparing options, we’re happy to answer anything on your mind.
My goal is to partner with parents now, during the research part, and have that partnership continue through many summers of Kamaji together!
– Kat Martin Nelson, Kamaji Alumni and Camp Director
