Each member of the Landman family is dedicated to helping individual campers experience challenges, discovery and the development of life skills at Kennybrook. The family truly believes that camp is even more important now than it has been in the past because today's kids really need the opportunity "to unplug", to relax, have fun, and be themselves in a safe and nurturing environment.
