Dudley & Kiniya work closely with several organizations throughout the country…schools, after-school programs, and direct service groups…that we call Community Partners.

Our Community Partners are aligned with our mission so a camper coming through one of these partnerships is living our motto “the other fellow first” year-round, which further enhances their leadership and character development. Some of these partnerships are only a few years old, but others are long-standing, like Baltimore Rotary, which has been working with us for over 25 years.

Community Partners help make a Dudley & Kiniya experience even more accessible by helping us reach an even broader spectrum of communities.

Community Partners…

• Identify deserving young people
• Help support them through the application process
• Assist them with preparations for a summer on Lake Champlain

In turn, Dudley & Kiniya commit to making a summer at camp affordable for these families by granting need-based scholarship.

In addition, through our new Alumni Liaison Program, we connect the families and Community Partners with our most significant resource…our alumni. Through this program local alumni act as a support network by serving as mentors and assisting families in preparing for the summer.
