Camp Dudley

★★★★★Trish Perry

Camp Dudley has been a wonderful place for our son. He was a camper for four years and has is now in a camp leadership position. Throughout his many summers at camp, our son has gained tremendous self-confidence and has made many friends. Dudley's "electronics free" environment provides a transformational experience for the campers. There are no phones, videos, etc., to distract from real conversations, friendships, and laugher. Any communication home is done through hand-written letters which are sent through the US mail. We still have many of the letters our son sent home as a camper. We are so thankful for Camp Dudley as it has made our son into the person he is today!

This camp is truly the best. Not only do my kids unplug from their devices for three weeks, they do so while learning new skills, building meaningful friendships, and reflecting on how to be better humans.

I attended Camp Dudley in the 90's and had an amazing experience. I've remained connected to camp as an adult and have been able to send my children to Dudley and Kiniya in recent years. While the program has been updated since I was there, its core remains relevant and effective. I particularly appreciate that camp give my kids some independence away from parents/teachers/coaches/phones while still having structure and purpose. My children loved their experiences over the past two summers and are excited to get back for a third summer this July.

Unequivocally the best place for a child or young adult to spend a summer. The staff and leadership’s unflagging efforts to create a transformative experience manifest themselves in the character of every Dudley and Kiniya camper. As I reminisce on my time as a camper at Dudley, I think about the life long friends that I have made, the unforgettable experiences I have enjoyed, and the attributes that Dudley instilled in me. I cannot imagine who I would be had I not attended Dudley, and I sincerely believe that everyone who has the privilege of being a camper up on Ol’ Champlain leaves as a better person than when they arrived.

Camp Dudley in a word. Community. From the minute you walk into the gates of camp you are embraced by a family that has grown up together. Leaders and staff have started as campers, and continue to come back every summer because of the energy, love and support that is cultivated around everyone. The people and the place are what keep Dudley so special. I have made life-long friendships, mentors that have given me life-changing advice and created skills for the professional world. Dudley is full of so many traditions that you can only find within the Adirondacks, and the backdrop of Lake Champlain is the cherry on top to one of the most beautiful and peaceful places to spend a summer. Dudley isn’t just with you for a summer, it’s a lifelong village that is with you wherever you are in life.
