We are Mike and Kathy Jay and together we have owned and directed Camp Kamaji for Girls since 1980.  Working alongside of us is Kat Martin who, at age 12, came to Kamaji as a first year camper. “Climbing the ranks” Kat went on to become a cabin counselor during college and, upon graduation in 2004 from the University of Wisconsin – Madison, Kat became Kamaji’s year-round Assistant Director.

Founded in 1914, Kamaji has the distinction of being Minnesota’s oldest residential summer camp for girls!! We are proud to be the current stewards of a camp that is rich in heritage and steeped in traditional camping values. Closing in on 30 years as owners and directors, we are more than ever committed to Kamaji’s founding principles: to be a place where kids can absolutely, completely be kids; where childhood is embraced, nurtured and respected; where our campers can grow and develop, learn new things, do things they can’t do at home, and cultivate friendships unlike any they’ve ever had — friendships that last a lifetime.

That is the heart and soul of Kamaji.

About our website:
In designing this web site we wondered what parents most want to know about Kamaji. We decided to start with the basics.  To that end, we have compiled a list of the most frequently-asked questions about Camp Kamaji. You probably have dozens of other questions and we’d be happy to answer them all.  Just “contact us” and we’ll send you Kamaji’s brochures and camp DVD!

One last word:
If you have time to stay awhile longer at www.kamaji.com, please do not limit yourself to the Parents’ Page as the other pages contain a wealth of information that offer a further glimpse into Camp Kamaji and what we are all about.

We thank you for your interest in Kamaji.  We hope to hear from you soon!
Campingly yours,
