Founded in 1955, Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da is a female-focused overnight summer camp for girls ages 7–16, offering 1 to 4-week sessions on a private island near Parry Sound, Ontario. Campers select from traditional outdoor activities, including sailing, climbing, and canoeing, challenging themselves to build new skills and grow as leaders. At the heart of the Mi-A-Kon-Da experience is a vibrant, supportive community that makes our camp truly unique. Guided by dedicated staff and strong role models, we provide a safe, tech-free environment where campers, staff, and alumni form lifelong bonds, independence, and a deep sense of belonging that stays with them far beyond the summer.
- Special needs: Yes, mild support. A few of our campers have special needs.

Programs, Rates & Dates
Programs and Sessions Calendar
From the moment a camper steps onto Birch Island, they become part of the Mi-A-Kon-Da family. We foster an inclusive, female-focused community where campers are challenged in ways that build confidence, independence, identity, and leadership. Guided by an attentive 3:1 camper-to-staff ratio, our screen-free environment encourages youth to step beyond their comfort zone, embrace the outdoors, and learn alongside strong role models. Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da alumni consistently reflect on their time at camp as a pivotal, transformative experience where they learned more about themselves than anywhere else while building friendships for life.
Mi-A-Kon-Da currently has 3 programs available.

Director's Message
Pam Lamont, Owner/Director
Why Mi-A-Kon-Da is important -
Young girls from all over the world, of all ages attend Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da, creating a lifetime of learning, friends and fun. For over 60 years Mi-A-Kon-Da continues to have campers, staff and alumni return each summer.
I believe that all girls should have that one special place and time where they can truly be themselves, feel safe and secure in that environment to experience and try new things they have the power to choose. This is what Mi-A-Kon-Da provides to every girl, her own special place in the world that is all hers, to be themselves.
"Mi-A-Kon-Da is a magical place. There is no other place like it. We come to enjoy nature, make friends, depart, grow and come back again."
- Pam LamontStaff and Counsellors
All of our counselor staff have developed into strong leaders and role models through years of growth at Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da. Every single one of our counselors was once a camper here, giving our team an intimate familiarity with camp life and an unmatched level of staff continuity. Supported by a 3:1 camper-to-staff ratio, counselors connect with campers on a deep, personal level to welcome them into the camp family. Prior to summer, all staff undergo a week of intensive training in camper care, promoting healthy emotional regulation, conflict resolution, safety protocols and first aid. Campers remember our staff as compassionate mentors who make Birch Island feel like home.
