Kamp started playing handball at the age of 12 in Visse IF. In 2010 she transferred to Aalborg DH. After the club went bankrupt in 2013, she switched to Vendsyssel Håndbold.
After a year at Borussia Dortmund, she will return to Denmark and join HØJ Elite for the 2026-27 season.[3]
In addition to ordinary handball, Kamp has also played for the Danish national team in Beach handball,[4] where she became a European champion in 2019.[5]
