Mission Statement
Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da provides a safe, female focused environment that teaches girls and those who feel affirmed and comfortable in this space to discover their best self.
Philosophy
At Mi-A-Kon-Da we believe in the educational, environmental, social, and recreational values of overnight camp. The experience of overnight camp cannot be replicated in the development of a child. Mi-A-Kon-Da provides a perfect environment for campers to grow and develop feeling valued, confident, and capable. They learn cooperation, independence and an appreciation for natural surroundings. Each summer they acquire new skills, create lasting memories and develops lifelong friendships. And the best part is they have a whole lot of fun in the process!
