Summer Camp
Program Overview
The Summer Camp program is the heart and soul of Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da. With over 60 years of operation, it has grown and evolved over the years to become what it is today.
Girls ages 7-16 register for 2 or 4 week sessions during July and August. We also offer a 1 week introductory session for girls ages 6-9 in the first half of July. With only 100 campers each session, new campers quickly find a place in the tight-knit community.
During summer camp, campers have the freedom to choose from a wide variety of activities to participate in each day. Mi-A-Kon-Da offers a broad range of activities including rock climbing, canoeing, and sailing. Campers can participate in activities recreationally, or work towards earning a badge to grow their skills at that activity. Our qualified staff supervise and provide instruction for all activities while acting as role models to teach campers important life skills. Learn more about our activities on our Activity Overview page.
Summer Camp Details
Our Summer Camp program is packed with a variety of fun, traditional summer camp activities to keep campers engaged throughout their 1, 2, or 4 week stay. Each activity is instructed by our qualified counsellor staff, who have extensive experience with their activity.
Campers have the freedom to choose what activity they want to attend each day and when they want to do. The only activity that campers are required to attend every day is Swimming.
Over their time at camp, campers are encouraged to apply the skills learned at activities and put them towards earning badges. As campers progress through the badge levels they will begin to learn more advanced in their chosen activity.

Our campers love the food at Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da as all our meals are cooked fresh by our in-house kitchen staff. We work hard to create delicious, kid-friendly meals that are nutritional and well-balanced. Fresh fruits and salads are staples at each meal, and a fruit bowl is available around the clock for hungry campers. Afternoon and bedtime snacks are provided.
Alternative menus are prepared for campers with special diets such as vegetarian, lactose-free, and gluten-free. If your daughter has dietary requirements make sure to indicate them on her medical form so that we can meet her needs.
*Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da has a strict ‘no nut’ policy.

Over their 1, 2, or 4 week stay at Camp Mi-A-Kon-Da, all of our campers stay in our tent cabins in groups of 4-5. Each tent is assigned a counsellor who sleeps in a cabin nearby with other staff members.
Campers are placed in tents with girls of similar age. Tent requests will be considered and met where possible.
A typical day at camp starts at 7:30am with the wake up whistle, and ends between 9:00 and 10:00pm. While there are some special events and changes to the schedule (such as Wednesday morning sleep-in!), most days at camp follow the same schedule of meal times and activities. Over the course of their time at camp, campers will become very familiar with the rhythm of camp life.
