Board Alumni Dinner & Retreat: Celebrating 20 Years

Nearly 50 members of our board community—past and present—gathered at Camp Kiniya on the final weekend of the summer for the Board Alumni Dinner & Retreat, marking 20 years of partnership between Dudley and Kiniya.
The evening began with a warm toast from Marnie, honoring our current Board Chair, #25368 Erinn Harley-Lewis, along with every chair who has guided our Operating and Foundation Boards over the past two decades. Erinn then shared heartfelt reflections before the gathering moved outside to the campfire, where stories and memories flowed as the sun set over Lake Champlain.
In a highlight moment, members of the Summer 2025 Kiniya staff serenaded the group with the beloved hymn ’Neath the Pines as twilight fell over Coleman Hall.
Those who stayed the weekend enjoyed a true camp experience—hiking, waterskiing, and another festive dinner lovingly prepared by Chef Gail. The laughter, connection, and camaraderie echoed the enduring spirit of camp and celebrated two decades of shared history and accomplishment.
Here’s to the next 20 years of Dudley & Kiniya!
