★★★★★Jennifer CampuzanoCamp Kamaji has been an incredible experience for our family! My daughter has attended for the past four years, and every summer has been nothing short of amazing. From the wide variety of activities to the lifelong friendships she has built, Camp Kamaji has become a second home for her. Kat, Jason and the staff are incredible – they provide a nurturing, fun, and empowering environment where girls can truly thrive. This year, we’re thrilled to send our twin daughters to Camp Kamaji for the first time! We can’t wait to see them grow, make new friends, and create their own special memories at this incredible camp. Camp Kamaji is truly a special place, and we feel so fortunate to be part of its community!
★★★★★Kate JoyceCamp Kamaji is such a special place for girls to find confidence, explore interests, and meet lifelong friends. We are lucky we chose this camp for our daughter, and she cannot WAIT to go back this summer!! Thanks to Kat, Jason, and all the staff, we know she’s in great hands and thriving, living her best life with her best new friends and camp family. Thank you Camp Kamaji! ❤️
★★★★★Margaret KelleyOur 10 and 12 year old daughters attended Kamaji for the first time in 2025. They were excited but nervous as they headed off, and when they returned, they were joyful and full of their own courage. I like to say that it was like our 12 year old was shot out of a cannon! That can be a tough age, and while she was at camp, she learned how to be exactly herself as a 12 year old with a confidence that I hadn't seen in a while. They are both eager to return in the summer of 2026. Kat and Jason (camp directors) are attentive, responsive, and possess a high emotional intelligence. We are so grateful for Camp Kamaji!
★★★★★Katie FoxI cannot recommend Camp Kamaji enough! My family had the opportunity to attend family camp fulfilling both my childhood dreams of going to sleep away camp and my children’s. What made it so amazing: 1) The setting on 140+ wooded acres along Wolf Lake is beautiful! 2) The activities - sailing, water skiing, tubing, fishing, paddle boarding, canoeing, rock climbing, tennis, hiking, archery, crafts, capture the flag, and the list goes on! You will never be board! 3) opportunity to strengthen existing and make new friendships 4) the owners Kat and Jason obviously put their sweat, tears and sacrifice of sleep to make Camp Kamaji the best experience for all that attend! We love Camp Kamaji and hope to return again!
★★★★★Allyson RinaldoMy family participated in the camp’s friends and family weekend. We have a 6 yo son and 9 yo daughter. I went into the weekend thinking I’d never send my kid away for a month - there’s no way! But after witnessing my daughter’s transformation in just 3 days from a helpless kid addicted to her iPad to a self-sufficient, incredibly happy person who reads to relax and remembers to brush her teeth, I’ve changed my mind! She got teary when it was time to leave and hasn’t stopped talking about all she loved about camp! I’m in awe of how this program nurtures children and develops their individual interests and sense of responsibility. There’s a reason Camp Kamaji has been around for 100 years. It’s magic! I can’t wait for my daughter to attend next summer!
