Another important community building time for us is when we gather in the Lodge on Saturday nights for a weekly show. Typically, the first show is Staff Night, when the counselors get up on stage to share serious talent, or, more often, something goofy to entertain the camp. We start with this so the boys can see that the Kabeyun stage is a safe place to step out and share of ourselves; the tone is supportive, positive and fun. Cabin Skit Night usually follows. Each cabin group gets together during the week to plan and practice an entertainment for the rest of us. Everybody participates, and it is always a fun night. The third Saturday of each session is when the Drama department stages The Play - a different production each month, from Shakespeare, to James and the Giant Peach, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, or a musical revue. The plays usually involve 20-30 boys of all ages, as actors and tech-crew.

The Music department also has its night each Wednesday when we are treated to Wednesday Night Live. Many boys bring their instruments to camp, from electric guitars, to fiddles, or cellos and saxaphones, and Wednesday nights are theirs. Garage bands emerge from out of the Kabeyun woods to perform and accomplished musicians and beginners alike show us their stuff.

At least once a month we have an all-camp bonfire on the beach in our Big Cove, a night of storytelling, and music with refreshments before a big fire with the night sky, Winnipesaukee and the distant White Mountains in silhouette as the backdrop. These shared experiences are an important part of our summers.
