Camp Kabeyun is a summer camp for boys established in 1924 on Lake Winnipesaukee in Alton, New Hampshire, emphasizing individual, non-competitive outdoor activities.
The camp occupies an 89-acre (36 ha) site at the mouth of Alton Bay, with almost a mile of lakefront and two sandy coves; it is the largest undeveloped stretch of shoreline on the lake. The property includes an old Abenaki camping ground at Fort Point. Before its present use, the land was farmed for several generations. A small graveyard at the rear of the site, enclosed by stone walls, serves as burial place for the former owners' families, with headstones dating back to the 1840s.
Kabeyun was founded in 1924 by John Porter, a teacher at the Browne & Nichols School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. After renting for five summers, Porter purchased the property in 1929. The camp's name comes from a character in The Song of Hiawatha. Kabeyun has no religious affiliation.
Camp Kehonka in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire, which closed in 1985, long served as an informal sister camp. The New England Literature Program is based at Kabeyun in the spring. Following the regular season, Kabeyun holds a "family camp" through Labor Day.
