Kamaji’s 98th Summer of Firsts Kamaji’s is one old camp. As a matter of fact, we’ll be celebrating our 100th season in 2013. Given that history, you might assume that not much changes from year to year. Well, you’d be wrong — really wrong. You might even say that 2011 was the year of Kamaji [...]

Recently someone not connected with camp asked me “Why did you choose a girls’ camp to own?” Truth is, Mike and I did not intentionally choose a girls’ camp over a boys’ camp. When we started out in 1978 to look for a summer camp to own and direct, we had no preference other than [...]
