After some years away from competition, Kam formed a new partnership with Canadian ice dancer Charlotte Lafond-Fournier, this time representing New Zealand. They made their Challenger series debut at the 2021 CS Autumn Classic International, where they finished in seventh. Lafond-Fournier/Kam next competed at the 2021 CS Nebelhorn Trophy, seeking to qualify a berth for a New Zealand dance team at the 2022 Winter Olympics, but finished in twelfth position, outside of qualification.
