Boulder Ridge Day
Camp is owned and operated by The Ebner Family. With over 200 years
of combined camping experience, three generations of Ebners have been
operating residential summer camps, Camp
Awosting for Boys since 1948 and Camp
Chinqueka for Girls since 1955. The Ebners bought the facility
formerly known as "The Village" in 2003 to start Boulder Ridge Day
Camp, hoping to offer a day camping experience similar to their 2
residential camps that have been so successful for the past 60 years.
 Kevin Ebner,
Co-Director,
is one of 7 grandchildren of the late Oscar Ebner Sr. and
Virginia Ebner, who bought Camp Awosting in 1948 and founded Camp
Chinqueka in 1955. He became the Director and Facility Manager of Boulder
Ridge when his family purchased the facility in 2003. Having grown up at
Camp Awosting, Kevin brings over 35 years of camping experience to Boulder
Ridge Day Camp. Despite his many years of experience Kevin attends camp
conferences and workshops throughout the off season and is a member of the
Connecticut and American Camp Associations. In addition to his
responsibilities at camp he and his wife Liz run weddings, banquets, company outings
and other special events on the weekends from April to October.
