Overnight summer camp for boys on 85 acres along the south end of Lake Winnipesaukee in Alton, NH, founded in 1924. Boys (new campers from about ages 8–11, with older campers as well) choose their own daily activities, including land and water sports, projects such as photography and leatherworking, and adventure trips into the White Mountains.

★★★★★David BerggrenAbsolute gem. Such a meaningful community and place for my family going on 3 generations. So grateful my boys are part of this tradition today.
★★★★★Bruce HendersonI spent five summers at Kabeyun. I learned sailing (I’m still a sailor) canoeing, mountain climbing, shooting, archery, pottery, some acting, wood shop, and a lot more. I would give anything to spend my summers there again. I love that place. Shout out to Bob Powers, John Porter( the grandson) and the Camp Director (then) Bill Old. Miss you guys !
★★★★★Jamar MurryHaving been a part of this camp for four incredible years, the memories I've made here are truly priceless. From sailing on the serene lake to the warm and friendly staff who make each day special, Kabeyun has provided me with countless moments of joy and adventure. It's a place where friendships flourish and unforgettable experiences await. I highly recommend Kabeyun for an unforgettable summer filled with treasured memories!
★★★★★Bill “Mugwump” AldsonI was a camper from approximately 1958 to 1962. The first year I went just for one month but for the following years I went for both months. I thoroughly enjoyed the camp, the staff, and the founder "Uncle" John Porter. Through his and his family's foresight the camp remains today as a fantastic place. I spent one summer as a counselor before I went to college. I met more great people. More recently I attended a Family Camp in 2016 after all the campers left. Many campers, even a few my age, attended. Some brought their spouses and children. The facilities were fantastic but sadly no rifle range! The other sad aspect was that I, as an immuno-compromised person, got a stomach and toe infection because I went swimming briefly in Lake Winnipesaukee. The water temp was a warm 70F for the top foot or so in the cove. When I found a website for the lake I discovered that this problem occurs in many places! We must all take care of our natural resources! The lake is one example of making sure that our children and beyond get to enjoy this lake and other natural resources around the world!
★★★★★Heidi MillerBoth of my sons attended Kabeyun from 2000-2013. Though they were 8 years apart in age, Kabeyun was a fit for both. One spent his time at the waterfront, sailing; the other was a rock climber. Both returned as counselors. As a family, we have been attending Family Camp for almost 20 years. This is a very special place that is important in all our lives.
