The Role of Women Counselors

During our first 50 years Kabeyun was very much an all-male world: the only women at camp were the nurse, an occasional spouse and an office secretary - a minimal presence in the daily lives of the boys. By the early 1980s, we had come to believe that the all-male camp of the past no longer met the needs of boys facing increasingly complex familial and social situations at home. Today, women make up 10-15% of our staff; they are fully integrated into camp life, including living in the cabins as counselors in the younger cabins. We believe this provides the boys, and all of us, with a better balanced community and gives us access to a much broader pool of talented, skilled and experienced counselors.

Parents Love It!

The effects of Kabeyun on Ahmed are beyond our wildest dreams! He is more assertive, happy, and eagerly motivated to do all kinds of things that we used to urge him to do, and he matured in a fantastic way. He talks often of "when I am in camp next summer," and we couldn't be more thrilled. Thank you for running the camp so thoughtfully, lovingly, and creatively.”

“I wanted to let you know how truly appreciative I am of Connor being able to attend camp this summer. He had a wonderful time, and I know it was a great experience for him. He treasures the sailboat he made in woodworking and is already thinking about what he might make if he's able to attend next summer. Thanks so much for all the wonderful memories from this year at camp.
