HALF SUMMER I and II
On the last day of each Half Summer session you will have an opportunity to share your son’s Kabeyun experience with him in a day of celebration and pick-up. We will be sending a letter from camp in advance of the day detailing the plan, but this should give you a sense of how it works:

Families will be welcome to arrive at the end of breakfast - at about 8:00 am - and begin their visit. Counselors will be available to chat with parents about their son’s experience, and there will be activities available for families to enjoy together – boating, swimming, tennis, badminton, horseshoes… We will serve a barbecue lunch and families will depart by about 2:00 in the afternoon.

The boys will be packed and ready to go the night before and we’ll encourage you to load his belongings into the car before lunch.

THE SUMMER and EXTENDED STAY
The last day of Half Summer I is your day to visit, though it is not an expectation! During the morning the entire staff will be available to you, with the exception of a few counselors driving boys to the airport, and there will be activities for you to share with your son. 

Lunch will be served and in the afternoon a special trip will head out of camp for boys who do not have vbisitors. Your son can either join this outing, or head out with you - one or the other, as the afternoon is a busy time for our counselors preparing for the arrival of Half Summer II campers. You will also have the opportunity to take him overnight - whatever works best for you.

The trip returns to camp by about 8:30; boys who leave with their families will either be back at that time to spend the night at camp, or will be dropped off the next morning along with arriving campers.

INTRODUCTORY SESSION
Because this is just a three-week stay, and we think it's important to minimize disruption to camp routine, there is no formal visiting time provided for the Introductory session boys. Families will arrive on the last day of the session between 9:00 and 10:00 in the morning to pick up their sons. A cabin counselor will be available to help load cars and chat. Introductory session boys need to arrive and depart by private car as our counselors are busy with the regular program on this day and therefore unavailable for trips to the airport.

COUNSELING INTERNS
The Counseling Intern program is a seven-week experience and the dates are the same as the Extended Stay session for campers. Interns are usually busy on the changeover days and have an important role in helping with the transition. Therefore, the end of the Half Summer I session is not a good time to visit, if you want to visit. Instead, we ask that you arrange a day within the week before or after the mid-point of our summer. Again, there is no expectation of a visit; you can work out the details with your son and the head of the Intern program.
