Our Mission
Kabeyun inspires boys to discover who they are and who they want to become through a program built entirely on camper choice, multigenerational mentorship, and a connection to the natural world. Free from screens and the pressures of everyday life and rooted in community, boys build confidence, character, and friendships that last long beyond summer’s end.

Inclusion and Belonging
Kabeyun is an overnight camp serving boys. For nearly a century, Kabeyun has invested in the benefits of a single gender environment to serve our mission of developing independent, creative, and thoughtful leaders and citizens. We welcome children who identify as boys, and who are emotionally ready for Kabeyun.
Statement of Multicultural Competence
Kabeyun is committed to ensuring that our services to campers, families, staff members, and other stakeholders from geographically, ethnically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse backgrounds are provided in a manner that reflects more than sensitivity and responsiveness to their needs. Kabeyun strives to demonstrate respect and the idea of significance of these differences through the incorporation of this diversity into the normal programming of our activities and the structure of our sessions. The director, trustees, staff, and other administrators at Kabeyun strive to facilitate the inclusion of concepts of and experiences related to these differences in culture in every aspect of the leadership, programming, hiring, staff, camp programming, and all elements of the Kabeyun community.
