Welcome to Kabeyun: a boys overnight camp on Lake Winnipesaukee.
Where boys 8-16 choose their own challenges every day, building confidence, friendships, and skills for life.
At Kabeyun, we believe in empowering boys to explore, grow, and achieve their full potential in a supportive, choice-based environment. Since 1924, we’ve been providing opportunities for growth and adventure on New Hampshire’s Lake Winnipesaukee and beyond.
Why parents choose Kabeyun
Parents choose Kabeyun because it offers boys a close-knit community where they are known as individuals and grow through choice, responsibility, and time outdoors together. Life at camp is intentionally simple and rooted in long-standing traditions that help boys develop confidence, independence, and lasting friendships. For many families, Kabeyun becomes a place their sons return to year after year, building a steady sense of belonging over time.
Choice every day: Sailing, arts, adventure trips, and more
Choice is at the heart of the Kabeyun experience. With a wide range of activities to choose from — from water sports to wilderness trips, arts to athletics — every day is filled with opportunities for boys to explore, challenges themselves, and grow.

“It was transformational for my son.
Everything summer camp should be and more.”
-Alan S.
A community like no other
Boys live in cabins with peers of similar ages, creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone belongs. Our dedicated counselors serve as mentors and role models, guiding boys through challenges, fostering friendships, and celebrating their achievements.
Building relationships across generations
Boys have the opportunity to form meaningful connections with campers and counselors of all ages. Campers describe Kabeyun as their “home away from home,” a testament to the strong sense of family and fellowship that permeates our camp community.

Welcome to Kabeyun — where boys thrive.
Traditional Boys Camp in New Hampshire
Kabeyun has remained a small, traditional overnight camp for boys for more than a century. Campers live and learn together in a setting shaped by shared routines, friendships, and time outdoors rather than busy schedules or constant instruction. Many families choose Kabeyun because its approach has stayed thoughtful and consistent across generations.
Where Boys Grow in Confidence and Independence
At Kabeyun, boys make daily choices about how they spend their time and gradually take on more responsibility as they grow. Supported by counselors who know them well, campers learn to try new things, contribute to their community, and feel capable in unfamiliar situations. Over time, this steady independence becomes one of the most lasting parts of the camp experience.
An Unplugged Summer on Lake Winnipesaukee
Life at Kabeyun is intentionally free from phones and screens so boys can focus on friendships, activity, and the natural rhythm of camp life. Days unfold on the waterfront, in the woods, and around the cabins where campers spend time together face to face. Parents often tell us this simplicity helps their sons return home more confident, connected, and at ease outdoors.
