Rainy Days

People often ask how we spend rainy days at camp. One thing we do not do is plug in groups of kids to watch videos. Kabeyun is intended to offer boys an experience different from what they have access to at home. The activity program continues in all weather, with the addition of dam building in our stream, or mud soccer; shelter building, or swamp walks. Examples of indoor activities include storytelling, writing for the camp newspaper, knot-tying, chess, and ping-pong tournaments.

There is a creative spirit that pervades our program and underlies the regular activities. Counselors, while skilled and experienced in their particular areas, are free to bring their own personal touch to their programs, occasionally offering new activities not written into the catalog. In this way we see juggling and diving instruction; yoga and Tai-Chi; extreme croquet, water salsa dancing, water chess, gardening...

Parents Love It!

Nick's three summers with you were extremely important to him. His camp photos are up on the wall in his bedroom and on the kitchen refrigerator. He wears the hats he crocheted with pride. Then he surprised all of us by running for student council this fall - becoming Vice-President - and showing the kind of leadership ability that I believe Kabeyun helped to foster.”

Kabeyun has had such an effect on Bennett - more mature, more patient, attentive to others... Please thank all your staff for us. Everyone who worked at Kabeyun should know that their efforts were worth it! Bennett had the most wonderful summer of his life, captured best, I think, in his last letter to us from camp, in which he said: "I AM SOOOOOO COMING BACK NEXT YEAR!!!"”
