Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da is a summer camp for girls where campers learn new skills, build friendships, gain independence, and learn to appreciate nature. Campers select from a variety of traditional camp activities, challenging themselves to try new things and become leaders. Located on a private island, our staff are dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for all.
From the moment a camper steps onto Birch Island, they become part of our family. At Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da, we work hard to create an inclusive and diverse community that empowers and supports one another. Through this community we encourage campers and staff alike to build their confidence, independence and identity. Alumni often reflect on their time at Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da as being a special place where they were able to learn more about themselves than any other experience.

One of the greatest advertisements for Mi-A-Kon-Da is undoubtedly Pam Lamont, who as directed the camp for nearly three decades. She’s personable, spirited, and given to saying things like this: “I believe sincerely in the educational, social and recreational values of camping. Camp provides an ideal environment for a young woman to grow and mature feeling valued, confident, and capable.” All of the activities at Mi-A-Kon-Da point to that overriding goal. The site, itself, is as remarkable and it is unique: it’s situated on its own island and surrounded by crown land. Arriving on site is like stepping into a painting by Tom Thompson, a world away from the bustle of city life. The programming clusters around traditional camp activities, and new programs are added only when they are sympathetic to the culture and goals of the camp. When rowing was introduced, for example, Lamont was careful to ensure that the focus was on the experience of working together as a team, and having a new experience, rather than competition. “I said I don’t want this activity to be about levels. I just want it to be an experience. If they want to pursue it in a competitive way, they may … a lot of the girls who do our dance program, they do it just for fun. And that’s great.” It is. Every camp is unique, though Mi-A-Kon-Da, in particular, proves that point.

All of our counsellor staff have developed to become strong leaders and role models through years of experience at Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da. One thing that makes us unique is that every single one of our counsellors has, at some point, been a camper at Mi-A-Kon-Da. This makes them intimately familiar with camp life and allows them to connect with campers on a deeper level, further integrating them into the camp family.
