“We were hoping for a successful camp experience, with positive peer relationships, fun activities and improved self-esteem. What we found at Kabeyun was a camp family. People who truly took the time to really get to know him and appreciate him unconditionally… the benefits will last a lifetime.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Watching Dan in the play and knowing the history of his trying out and then his desire to drop out, followed by your keeping him engaged and committed, was awesome. He did an amazing job on stage Saturday night and when I looked into his eyes later that night - he knew. He knew he had accomplished something incredible.”

“Oliver is having the most awesome school year ever! He has matured so much and we attribute much of his success to Kabeyun. He is conscious this year of who he is and how he impacts others. He takes himself less seriously and is quicker to laugh off mistakes and take life in stride. The most heart-warming part is he has begun to understand the importance of developing friendships.”
