Teachers are the glue

The title heading speaks for itself.   Sure, we have many young counselors.  Every one of them has a teacher mentor.  The combination of experienced educators and exuberant young former-camper-now-counselors makes for the Kingswood model we so  proudly feature.

  1. What makes Kingswood extraordinary is this ‘intergenerational’ model of friendship and mentorship that boys receive. These staff and educators add so much to the experience and character development of a Kingswood camper!
