ENROLLMENT FOR ALL 2027 SESSIONS OPENS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3 AT 10:00 AM EDT.
Sessions for new and returning campers ages 8 to 16
We have worked to maintain the integrity of the camp experience for the boys by avoiding the coming and going created by lots of session lengths and choices. Most of the boys, regardless of age, come to Kabeyun for one of the two half-summer sessions. The whole community starts and departs at the same time, assuring the boys of the chance to connect with everyone at camp – we all get to know each other very well, and very fast.
Typically, 15-20% of our campers stay for the full summer. We begin again at the start of Half-Summer 2 with all the same group bonding and orientation activities as the start of Half-Summer 1. Campers who attend Half-Summer 2 only do not come into an already-established camp community.
Kabeyun believes that ability to pay should not be a limiting factor in a boy’s enrollment. Learn more about Kabeyun’s tuition assistance program.

Introductory sessions for first-time campers ages 8 to 11
The Introductory session is available to a limited number of first-time campers, under the age of 12, for their first summer only. We find this option is best-suited to younger campers who might lack the stamina for a longer period away from home or are nervous about their first camp experience. Beginning on the same day as either the first or second half-summer session, these campers have the option, so long as their parents agree, to extend their stay to the end of their session if they choose.

Counseling Internship for returning campers ages 16 and 17
The counseling internship program at Kabeyun is a wonderful opportunity for older, returning campers to expand their involvement with camp and to prepare for the challenges they will face if, in the future, they join the Kabeyun staff. The intern program is vastly different from the summers participants have experienced in the past. There is a focused and specific curriculum, concentrated on developing leadership, teaching, and group management skills. Interns work closely with counselors in activities and in the cabin, observing and being observed, teaching and co-teaching. These experiences are enhanced through regular group meetings, workshops, and individual feedback conferences. And, while graduates of the program are invariably more prepared for the challenges of camp counseling work than they would otherwise be, participation in and completion of the intern program in no way guarantees future employment on Kabeyun’s staff.

In 2027, the counseling internship program will concentrate the curriculum- and instruction-based part of the program in the first Half-Summer Session. Those participants who elect to stay for the second Half-Summer Session have a greater opportunity to gain leadership experience, spend time on out-of-camp trips (if they choose), and build their skills. Interns who attend both sessions of their Counseling Internship summer will be credited for a year of service when and if they are hired back as a member of the counseling staff.
