What Campers Say

"My favorite part of Kennolyn is probably Outpost where you sleep under the stars and make foil stew and s’mores. I also really like going on the ropes course because I love challenging myself with new circuits every time.”

– Ellie L, 6th grade, San Mateo, CA

"I love Kennolyn. I have learned to be more kind and caring here and be better at not bragging. Also being a better sport. I look forward to coming back and learning something new and meeting new people”

– Avery A, 3rd grade, San Jose, CA

"I can’t wait for many things at Kennolyn, but I especially can’t wait for Senior Beach Day and Boardwalk Day. A few of my favorite things at camp are Thursday Thrill Day, Trapeze, foil stew, international day, and friends.”

– Paul D, 9th grade, San Francisco, CA

"If this is your first year going to Kennolyn then you are never gonna want to leave!”

– Pippin T, 5th grade, Agoura Hills, CA

"Kennolyn is the best place on earth. I have made some of the closest friends over the 7 years. Boardwalk Day, Beach Day, Campfires & Theme days are just the start! ”

– Georgia J, 9th grade, Fresno, CA

"Probably my favorite thing about Kennolyn is Campfire. You get to do skits that you choose. Also Outpost is really cool because you get to go into the woods and build a fire.”

– Accius W, 8th grade, Los Angeles, CA

"Some of the best things about Kennolyn are campfires and watching all of the funny skits the cabins put on. Kennolyn is my all time favorite camp!”

– Kendall M, 5th grade, Fresno, CA

"I’ve been going to Kennolyn for 4 years and it feels like my second home. There’s so much freedom at camp and I’ve always loved that. The dance is my favorite night cause you can just go crazy with your friends. ”
