We can't wait to welcome your camper to Kabeyun! Over the past few years, we've refined our arrival routine so your camper will be able to quickly join his cabin mates and jump into the fun of camp! Here's the step-by-step:

Half-Summer I and Half-Summer 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 send an email detailing the plan during the summer, but this should give you a sense of how it works:

Families are welcome to arrive at the end of breakfast - around 9:00 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. We will serve a barbecue lunch from 11:30 am – 12:30 pm, and families will depart by 3:00 in the afternoon.

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

The Summer and Extended Stay
For families whose campers are staying longer than four weeks, the final day of Half Summer I is your chance to visit, though it is not an expectation! You can visit camp, chat with counselors, enjoy the waterfront, and have lunch alongside families picking up their Half Summer I campers. You can either stay for a few hours and depart on your own, or take your camper with you and bring him back the day Half Summer II begins. Please know that many of our 7- and 8-week campers will not have visitors at all; for some, it's one of their favorite camp experiences! We keep them busy and safe during the changeover with fun activities both in and out of camp. Families whose boys are staying longer than four weeks will receive an email with more details about their options.
 

Introductory Sessions
There is no formal visiting time for campers in our Introductory session, since it's just a two-week stay and we think it's important to minimize disruption to the camp routine. We ask families picking up campers on the final day of an Intro session to arrive between 9:00 and 10:30 in the morning or 2:30 and 5:00 in the afternoon. 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 are not available for trips to the airport.
 

Counseling Interns
The Counseling Intern program is an eight-week experience, starting the day before the Half-Summer I session begins and ending on the same day that the Half-Summer II session ends. Interns are usually busy during changeover between Half-Summer I and Half-Summer II 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; 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 coordinator of the Internship Program.
