Huntington Lake Making a Positive Impact
As a family owned and operated camp for 80 summers, values and traditions are an important part of the Kennolyn Camps experience.
Our camps motivate children to embrace new experiences, develop a stronger sense of self and make their own critical choices within healthy boundaries.

We strive to hire and promote the best camp professionals available, because they become mentors and heroes to our campers.
Every counselor is trained to give the best support for each child at camp; in the cabin and in each activity. We also offer work trades for nurses. Join our dedicated team and see why so many staff return year after year.

What Campers Say
And just like that… the 6th session of our 80th Summer has come to a close. 🌲There`s no better time to reflect on so many of the memories our campers share: from cabin life, to campfire, activities, family hour, and the Ducky Derby: the redwoods are holding onto another season of laughter, songs, and memories.
And if you listen closely… you’ll hear the soothing voice of our Director of Camps, Andrew, inviting you back to where it all began. 💚
Our 80th Reunion is almost here (August 22-24. 2025): whether you join us for a single day or stay for the whole weekend, you’re welcome. Come walk the trails, sit under the trees, eat in the dining hall, and share stories with old friends (and new ones).
Registration closes tomorrow, Sunday 8/10, so we can get everything ready for your arrival. We can’t wait to welcome you back.
You all belong to Kennolyn, and Kennolyn belongs to you.
Tag a friend to let them know you hope to see them around the campfire in a couple of weeks.
In this fantastic snapshot from the early 1970s, a cabin of boys embarks on the noble pursuit of "birding" during Outpost. Their counselor has spotted an unusual specimen, and the lads are laser-focused, binoculars in hand, eager for a glimpse. What could it be? A rare marbled murrelet, also known as a "fog jack"? A majestic Black-backed woodpecker? Perhaps a mountain chickadee.
Fast forward to today: another cabin, decades later, is taking in the sites and sounds of Kennolyn on Outpost. Suddenly, movement in the distance! Is it a "Townsend`s warbler"? A barking tree frog? Sasquatch?! We may never know.
What we do know is that for 80 summers, Kennolyn campers have been venturing into the woods, watching, wondering, and sometimes wildly speculating. Outpost has always been about more than just sleeping under the stars: it’s about curiosity, adventure, and the simple joy of discovering the world around us (and maybe telling a few tall tales around the campfire).
Here’s to 80 summers of camp magic, where every generation finds its own bit of mystery in the great outdoors. 🏕️❤️
What`s your favorite Outpost memory?
"It was what I wrote my college admissions essay on. It was just a really special place." 💛
For 80 summers, Kennolyn has been more than just a summer camp. It’s been a place where magic happens: where friendships are forged, creeks are explored, songs are sung under the redwoods, and memories are made that last a lifetime.
This video brings together the voices of past and present campers who remind us what makes Kennolyn so unforgettable: the joy of Outpost, the nerves and pride of trying something new, the comfort of tradition, and the feeling of coming home, year after year. And, it was narrated by one of our campers from session 3.
🎉 We’re celebrating 80 Summers of Kennolyn, and we want to hear from you:
What’s your favorite camp memory? Drop it in the comments!
And don’t forget: our big Alumni Reunion is August 22–24. Whether you came in the `60s or just last summer, you’re invited back to where the magic lives.
