The Lure of the Mountains
We have been home for almost a month from our trip to Nepal. It is hard to shake the memories, especially of those magnificent Himalaya mountains. The Nepal tour book says you can hire guides to trek you all the way to nearly 20,000 feet. That sounds intriguing, but, I would argue that Kingswood boys … Read more
A Few Small Trades…
It’s a frigid Monday morning here in New Hampshire, and with at least one more potential snow storm in the forecast, we find ourselves thinking more and more about the upcoming summer. It’s less than three months away! It’s hard to believe that in just a few short months, the snow will melt, the lake … Read more

The subject of the second half of this week’s blog is our staff. This summer we anticipate that close … Read more
The View We Never Tire Of
It’s official – we’ve begun our countdown to the start of camp – 125 days! At Kingswood, we pride ourselves on the personalized attention we give each boy, the individualized experience, the choices available. For today’s blue’s buster, we want to share one aspect of Kingswood that we sometimes take for granted – the beauty … Read more
