Rock Climbing

New Hampshire has some world-renowned climbing spots and our climbing program draws boys of all ability levels to their granite faces. Though we have a small climbing wall in camp, the real focus of this program is trips and climbing real rock. Even the most dramatic cliffs have sections for beginners where the boys can have the exhilaratring sense of mountain heights while working up climbs chosen for the particular ability level of the group.

Kabeyun's rock climbing is well-supplied with the best equipment, from helmets, to ropes, harnesses and carabiners. Our trip leaders have a broad range of experience as well as training in top-rope site management and high angle rescue techniques. As with all other trip leaders, they are certified in Wilderness First-Aid as a minimum (some are Wilderness First Responders, and may even be Wilderness EMTs), and as Red Cross Lifeguards. We have a good supply of climbing shoes so the boys can have the experience of climbing like the pro's; no special equipment is needed beyond a sleeping bag for overnights and a willingness to try.

Parents Love It!

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!!!"”

Kabeyun is really a special place. I didn't go to camp as a kid, but if I had, I would have wanted the Kabeyun experience.”
