Gifts of a Kabeyun Summer

Kabeyun offers boys the chance to explore a wide variety of sports and activities not usually available to them during the rest of the year. Through a completely elective system of programming, they choose daily from over 20 activities including high adventure sports like white water paddling, rock climbing and hiking, sailing, windsurfing, wakeboarding and waterskiing, in balance with more creative endeavors like woodworking, pottery, music, drama and traditional camp activities like archery, ropes course, swimming and fishing.

The atmosphere at Kabeyun encourages the growth of a boy's self-awareness and confidence in the context of community living. We work hard to balance attention to individual growth with the cultivation of a boy's sense of place within the group, whether in the cabin with his peers, on a trip, or at an all-camp assembly. As a part of encouraging strong character and citizenship, we place a high value on developing problem solving and conflict resolution skills. By living closely together in our small community boys learn to be positive and productive citizens - tolerant and understanding of the rights of others, respectful of individual differences.

Time and time again, we hear Kabeyun campers, staff and alumni refer to camp as "home." The reference emanates from the solid sense of comfort and security so many have felt here. So many lasting friendships have begun here, so many lessons learned, so many personal strengths discovered - these, we believe, are among the greatest gifts Kabeyun can provide.

Parents Love It!

“Watching Dan in the play and knowing the history of his trying out and then his desire to drop out, followed by your keeping him engaged and committed, was awesome. He did an amazing job on stage Saturday night and when I looked into his eyes later that night - he knew. He knew he had accomplished something incredible.

“We were hoping for a successful camp experience, with positive peer relationships, fun activities and improved self-esteem. What we found at Kabeyun was a camp family. People who truly took the time to really get to know him and appreciate him unconditionally… the benefits will last a lifetime.
