The atmosphere at Kabeyun encourages the growth of a boy's self-awareness and confidence in the context of community living. We work hard to balance attention to individual growth with the cultivation of a boy's sense of place within the group, whether in the cabin with his peers, on a trip, or at an all-camp assembly. As a part of encouraging strong character and citizenship, we place a high value on developing problem solving and conflict resolution skills. By living closely together in our small community boys learn to be positive and productive citizens - tolerant and understanding of the rights of others, respectful of individual differences.

Time and time again, we hear Kabeyun campers, staff and alumni refer to camp as "home." The reference emanates from the solid sense of comfort and security so many have felt here. So many lasting frienships have begun here, so many lessons learned, so many personal strengths discovered - these, we believe, are among the greatest gifts Kabeyun can provide.
