Facilities

Cool cabins surround our beautiful Town Square. Our historic lodge is a gathering place for everyone and our Main Street makes our camp more like a hidden village in the Redwoods. Kids feel welcome here and the attention to detail and cleanliness makes parents feel comfortable. And then there’s the pool, the ropes courses, the field, animal barn, and much more. Visit us to see it all.

Friends

Kennolyn is a place to make friends. Many groups of camp friends stay in touch all year and coordinate their annual trip to Kennolyn. But, we have plenty of new campers every year and we work hard to make sure every cabin group has a mix of new and returning campers to give everyone a great chance to make friends. Camp is the perfect place to develop social and friend making skills.
