Teaching Peace

We spend a good deal of time modeling and teaching problem-solving; particularly in the context of the cabin group that brings together boys from varying backgrounds, with a range of personalities. Our counselors are continually modeling the good listening and consensus building necessary to peaceful living. When there is a problem, we don’t merely sweep it aside hoping that it goes away. We talk through the relevant issues, making sure each person involved has a voice and is heard. This process teaches boys that problems are a real part of life and need not be ignored. It teaches the value of calm talk, of listening, and of the existence of different perspectives with equal weight to one’s own. Boys develop alternative problem solving strategies and conflict resolution skills in an atmosphere of support and safety.

Parents Love It!

“I wanted to let you know how truly appreciative I am of Connor being able to attend camp this summer. He had a wonderful time, and I know it was a great experience for him. He treasures the sailboat he made in woodworking and is already thinking about what he might make if he's able to attend next summer. Thanks so much for all the wonderful memories from this year at camp.

“From my first phone conversation with Chuck I could tell this was a rare environment, designed to help these boys reach for the best in themselves and in each other. I feel like Luke stands a little taller after becoming part of the Kabeyun family. We hope that you all know how much we appreciate this wonderful program you have worked so hard to create. You do a tremendously important job.”
