Greetings, Camp Community!  Spring is a season of growth and new possibilities - a time that we look forward to the excitement of things to come. 

It's fair to say that Camp shapes us in ways that we don't always realize. Those feelings that we experience as both campers and beyond are ones that we chase into adulthood in hopes that we might bring them forth into the world and find moments outside its gates to recapture some of the magic that makes Dudley so special.

Over the years, we’ve been blessed to welcome generations of campers through Dudley’s gates. As we look back 141 years, we realize we’ve lost touch with some of the campers who helped shape the spirit and traditions we still cherish today.

Each summer, on the night before opening day at Camp Dudley, we ask someone to speak to all the assembled Aides, JLs, ALs, Leaders, and Staff about the important work ahead. We call it the Preseason Keynote, and it’s meant to serve as a kind of pregame speech.

This incredible group will be leading our four divisions at Camp Kiniya and bring a huge passion for camp, our traditions, and most importantly, our campers. They’re counting down the days to the start of summer and are ready to jump right in and have an absolute blast!

Warmest greetings! As I commence my second year as Board Chair, I am sincerely grateful for your trust as I continue my work alongside our dedicated Trustees, Directors and staff, as steadfast stewards of our Camps. It is a pleasure and privilege to serve Camps that have such rich histories and mean so much to all of us.

These incredible guys will be leading our four divisions at Camp Dudley and bring a huge passion for camp, our traditions, and most importantly, our campers. They’re counting down the days to the start of our 142nd Season and are ready to jump right in and have an absolute blast!

Thanks to a partnership between Camp Dudley and #15768 John Bourne, we have a limited time offer to get Dudley branded Holderness & Bourne in time for the holidays.

When Melissa “Wubba” Murray joined our team in 2015, it didn’t take long for the Kiniya community to realize that we had gained someone truly extraordinary. With warmth, humor, and a deep sense of purpose, Wubba brought not only her immense talents, but her whole heart to camp—and she’s never looked back.

Awarded at the end of every summer, the Last Whistle Dedication is one of the highest honors one can receive at Camp Dudley. It is presented to a member of our community who shows devotion and love toward others and this place we all cherish while living with an unwavering commitment to our motto: “The Other Fellow First.”
