Dear Dudleyites, Helping launch new ideas and programs at Dudley is one of the most challenging and enjoyable parts of my job. In fact, I feel lucky to be able to do it. Serving the Country’s oldest camp in continuous operation, our leadership team is blessed with time honored traditions and a well-developed campus which looks as good now as it ever has. But each year it is important for us to review both our program offerings and the facilities that support them so that we remain fresh and relevant. We are excited to be able to share key new facilities at Camp that will allow us to both enhance current programs and launch some pivotal new ones during the upcoming summer. Our new, world class Leadership Barn will serve as an excellent training space for our leaders and staff, while providing a place for leaders to gather during their time off. Its location, directly next to our Roe Farm House and vegetable garden, gives us the opportunity to support and enhance our growing Farm to Plate major. Finally, our NOLS Wilderness Leadership, Germany and Spain exchange campers will call the Leadership Barn home as they prepare for their travels as a team. A favorite program area at Camp is the Challenge Course located out at Cutler Point. The tree-built system has served us well for over 20 years. This year we will invest in a new pole-built system, similar to the one at Camp Kiniya. The new Challenge Course will be constructed among the pines on North Point. This location — an easy walk from campus — will allow maximum use throughout the day by our campers. The Challenge Course will include favorite low elements, exciting new high rope stations and a zip line with spectacular views of Lake Champlain.

Perhaps the busiest program area on campus is the one that also requires the greatest amount of vigilance... Swim Point. In an effort to constantly increase safety, we have invested in an entirely new dock system at Swim Point. The new configuration — made out of a stable, uniform surface — will allow our staff to install our docks regardless of lake levels. Our swim area, by far the most popular location on campus on a hot summer day, will be managed and guarded with the highest level of safety with this key facility upgrade. This summer’s campers can count on Hymn Sings, cabin suppers and team competition. They’ll start their days with Chapel Talks and end them with Vespers. They’ll laugh at themselves and with others, root for each other, and challenge themselves outside of their comfort zones, just as they have for generations. They will also be the first to enjoy these wonderful new facilities, supporting programs in exciting and important new ways. We can’t wait to experience it all with them. Respectfully,

#13804, Matt Storey, Director

Dear Friends, Of all the blessings Camp has brought me through the years, the greatest has been the gift of friendship. To this day I hold those I have met, worked alongside, learned from, and loved close to my heart. These connections run deep. Friendships are made across all ages, and interactions of acceptance and encouragement are modeled every day. Camp’s formative experiences quite often shape the adults that we become. They sustain us through times of celebration and times of challenge. Camp is a second home to many generations; current mothers and fathers of future Dudley and Kiniya campers are friends from my earlier Kiniya years. Today my Camp friends are both decades older and decades younger than I am. Age is replaced by a deep appreciation and respect for “the person you truly are.”

forward to frequent check-ins throughout the year. Pete and I have both spent 23 summers at Kiniya. While mine began in 1994, Pete’s began in 1958! His six-decade long commitment of service to Kiniya is inspiring and still lively as we compare notes on “then and now.” Though three decades apart in age, Pete and I have had the opportunity to learn from each other, thanks to Camp. Pete shows each of us every day how best to put The Other Fellow First. Camp provides a unique platform to share life experiences with those of every age and stage. How lucky we are to form meaningful relationships, time and time again, with those connected by this special place. Thank you for your friendship and for your continued support!

#23587 Paul Brown and #23591 Kaylee Litch work Gratefully, seamlessly together as they help girls reach new heights on Kiniya’s climbing wall. These two talented folks — three decades apart — complement each other in their skills and leadership styles, learning something new #20001, Marnie McDonagh, Director from each other every day. This kind of multigenerational interaction flourishes at Camp, building relationships of deep and mutual respect. One of my oldest and closest friends is #21532 Pete Nash. As our in-season “all-around helper,” Pete is a joy to work with each summer, and we look

Letters to the Editor #8612 Peter Trowbridge, Gilbert, AZ, wrote to Matt in December: “Wanted to express my deep felt thanks for your work and making Dudley ‘great’ for grandson, #24400 Tyler T. Trowbridge. I remember your comment at the close of camp that, ‘Tyler was a good fit.’ So much was said in so few words, thanks. Tyler can’t wait to come back for his second season. He grew a lot internally. The experiences at that age go a long way to craft their character, their values, and develop their leadership skills. ‘The Other Fellow First’ – a motto for the ages! Across the lake, Tyler’s twin sister, #24200 Sydney N. Trowbridge, also had the time to develop her interests, make friends, and have fun. She really liked Kiniya, and her letters were so positive. When we went to see Sydney (Parents Day), she wasted no time to show us her ease in climbing the rock wall — (she ‘kinda’ ... ran up the wall!). We grandparents were very impressed. She wants to come back for next season and pick up where she left off . . . way to go Sydney! I guess it’s safe to say that the Trowbridge clan has established an ongoing tradition. My late dad, #2516 Thomas Trowbridge, Sr. started it all in 1915. Chief Beckman was camp director and I recall Dad talking about how he ‘caught the bug’ for playing baseball and ‘The Chief ’ would always hit grounders to sharpen the ‘mitt’ catchers. My brother, #7714 Tom Jr., went to Dudley from 1948-52 then I followed from 1953-57. We had to wait

until my son, #13900 Pete Jr. came along and attended Dudley from 1983-86. After Pete Jr., my wife, Jenda, had a nephew, #15919 Robert Wallace, that went to Dudley from 1992-94 . . . so the ‘clan’ continues with Tyler and Sydney. Thank you Camp Dudley/Kiniya for making the tradition . . . an ongoing reality. Pete and Jenda Trowbridge” #8366 Steve Forsyth, Venice, FL, contacted Dave Langston after relocating from Kansas City, KS. Dave suggested that he join us for our annual Old Boys gathering in Venice which he and his wife, Sharon Coberly did. Steve recalled, “I was a boyhood friend of #8608 Bob Stroud from Maplewood, NJ, and attended Dudley as a Plebe in 1952 or 53. I was there five full seasons; two as a Plebe, one as a Junior, one as a Senior, and my final year as an Aide. Loved every moment.” Steve inquired about his cousins Kent and Ford Titus and Prescott “Pete” Perkins. “Both went to Dudley but mostly after me. My mother was a Titus from Binghamton and their dad, #4318 Rex Titus, went to Dudley in the 1930s, I believe.” #9556 Bernie Von Kutzleben, Fort Myers, FL, checked in with Dave Langston, and also joined our SW Florida Old Boys gathering. Bernie and his brothers attended Dudley in the 1960s

Small World coming all the way from Holland. Said Bernie, “I came as a Cub in 1960, having flown to the US from Holland by myself. It was a great introduction to camp, where my dad, who lived in the same apartment as Chief in NY, spent several summers in the mid-’30s – that’s how the family got introduced to CD.” Bernie retired last year and with his wife Carolyn moved from Connecticut to Fort Myers. Bernie’s dad bought a summer home across the Lake in Vergennes. Bernie recalls, “We could hear the Dudleyites, during calm nights or when the wind was blowing from the west, when shouts were let out during the evening shows.” #24226 Travon Owens, Jackson, MS, wrote to Matt. “Thank you for the scholarship to Dudley. The weeks at Camp Dudley were some of the best weeks of my life. Camp Dudley has taught me how to be a better leader and to communicate better. Dudley is heaven for young men. My experience at Camp Dudley was great — it is the greatest camp ever. Camp Dudley is the one place that I can express myself freely. At first before Dudley I did not get along with everybody but now I do. Camp Dudley changed me into a person that everyone liked. At Camp Dudley there were people that I thought I would never meet, like Walker in Upper Suter. Walker is the nicest kid I had ever met, he was always smiling and speaking to everyone. Walker is a great friend. Camp Dudley changed me and I like the new me. Dudley taught me how to get along with all types of people because of you and my great family members. I am grateful for you and everybody else and would love to have the same experience as my first time. If you let me return to Camp Dudley I could learn more about the Dudley way. I am camper #24226, the happiest camper ever. Cushman cabin was the best cabin. I hope I can return in 2017. Thank you.” Sincerely, Travon Owens “Dear Mr. Matt Storey: I’m Travon’s guardian and I just wanted to say thank you so very much for everything. Travon’s attitude, personality and his whole demeanor has changed. He really got a lot from being at this camp. Please allow him to return. He’s a great kid. The Kellers . . . Mr. and Mrs. Dean Keller, have been so wonderful as well in his life. Thank you for everything.” Mrs. Pearlie M. Cox, Guardian

#7289 Ace Scharges, wrote from Moretown, VT. “On a cold blustery day in December my wife Helen Anne and I were in Lake George doing our Christmas shopping at a local outlet mall. After several stores we landed at L.L. Bean. Soon thereafter, we took our purchases to the checkout line. Suddenly, a woman in front of us turned around and noted my Dudley hat. She said both her brothers-in-law went to Dudley. They were #11030 Philip Curry (now deceased) and #11865 Michael Curry, who currently lives in Barrington, RI. The Dudley hat seems to be known world-wide and is a great conversation starter!” At the Hamilton-Middlebury NESCAC tourney soccer game in Amherst in November, #10466 Don Goodwin, then head coach at Salem State University, joined #16404 Blair Dils, Mt. Greylock Regional HS Coach, along with his wife #14504 Jess Dils and son #21704 Sam Dils in the stands. #8804 John and #18204 Martha Storey then arrived, and “Goodie” quipped “We have the makings of a Dudley Reunion.” From behind us comes a voice saying, “If that’s Camp Dudley you’re talking about, count me in!” So the group meets former camper #10533 John Myhre, who had traveled from Middlebury to see the game. John was at Camp in 1967, 1968, and 1970. He is currently a Vice President and Financial Advisor at Morgan Stanley in Burlington, VT, and lives in Middlebury.

Errors and Omissions Sincerest apologies to #21096 Bethany Silva and #14696 David Baroody for the multiple errors that we made in announcing the birth of Bethany and Dave’s daughter, Ella Férnande Silva-Baroody in the Fall 2016 edition of the CD News. We are grateful for the opportunity to get Bethany, Ella and the Silva-Baroody names correct for the record and sincerely apologize for our errors.

#13820 Marcus Chioffi - Greenwich, CT

Caroline has been with Fidelity Investments in the Boston area for over 20 years, developing product strategy and ensuring compliance for Fidelity’s retirement services product line. She recently transitioned to Global Services, Fidelity’s offshore shared services organization. Caroline received her BA from Smith College and MBA from Clark University. She remains active with Smith as President of the Smith Club of Central Massachusetts and Planned Giving Chair / Class Fund Agent. Keenly interested in growing girls as leaders, environmental stewardship and general kindness to others, Caroline also volunteers with FidelityCares, Mass Audubon and the Worcester Animal Rescue League. Said Caroline “I’m honored and thrilled to join the Board of Trustees and look forward to helping the camps continue to thrive and evolve.” Caroline’s grandfather #2454 H. Torrey Foster, father #7114 Torrey Foster, brothers #11168 Torrey, #12004 Chris and #13000 Stuart as well as numerous cousins introduced Caroline to camp with stories of hymn sing, ‘lobes, Stacey Brook Country Club, Dead Bug and more. As the only girl, Caroline quickly memorized the Dudley cheer, helped her family host many Open Houses in Shaker Heights, OH during Director Willie Schmidt’s era and pined for the chance to attend a girl’s camp like Dudley. Her son, #20725 Ragon, and daughter, #21412 Gretchen, have continued the long Foster family camper tradition at Dudley and Kiniya. Inspired by Ragon’s experience on the Dudley NOLS trip, Caroline completed her own NOLS course in 2016. Said Caroline, “Dudley and Kiniya not only motivate our family to continue living the motto beyond the shores of Champlain, but they embody an ever-present energy and inspiration in our everyday lives.”

Marcus has taught middle school history at Brunswick School, an all boys Pre-K to 12 day school, in Greenwich, CT since 2000. In addition to his academic duties, he also coaches varsity football, as well as middle school hockey and lacrosse. He enjoys the challenges and rewards of teaching and coaching in an environment that so closely resembles Camp Dudley. He first learned of Dudley through long time family friend, the late Tink Bolster, and has been on campus for 24 of 32 summers since. Under the last four Dudley directors, he held positions in all ranks of leadership, including Junior Division Head in 1996. He has also worked in Westport as a member of the maintenance, boathouse and A-Hut staffs. Marcus met his wife, #16964 Joanie Chioffi at Camp in 1996. They live in Greenwich, CT with their two children, #24820 Jack (10) and Caroline (5). Together, Marcus and Joanie worked under Directors Wheaton Griffin and Andy Bisselle in the late 90s and early 2000s. In 2006, Joanie was asked to integrate and implement Dudley values and traditions into the newly formed Camp Dudley at Kiniya. Marcus joined Joanie in the summer of 2007 as the program director, and the couple worked with Marnie to help lay the transformative foundation for Kiniya. More recently, in addition to working in varying capacities in the A-Hut Marcus was thrilled to work with Matt and Marnie as the CDA Vice President under CDA President Jay Wells and alongside David Ready, the current CDA President. Of even greater excitement, son #24820 Jack will cross through the Dudley gates as an official camper this summer for the first time.

Practicing gratitude had me focusing on the positive. What a great feeling. Existing in today’s world can be a challenge. I’ve endured my fair share of heartaches, of loss, of days where I am so angry that nothing has gone right. I had to think long and hard about what I was really truly grateful for that day. Something always came to mind and it always will. On the other hand, I have had days of pure joy and downright spasms of excitement, where my one-liners turned into a sentence or paragraph of gratefulness. Just as in life, there is a contrast and through your individual journeys you will experience it all. What I encourage you to do is look in with patience and openness to find and share the good. Copeland, one of the special beings Jenn is grateful for. Practicing gratitude is simple and free. Even though I’ve always considered myself to be a thankful and a grateful individual, I wasn’t actively sharing or thinking it. Keeping this journal has had a profound influence on my life, my mindset and my attitude. I look forward to the end of my day when I can reflect and carefully choose what I’d like to share with the blank page and a welcomed smile that crosses my face.

Practicing gratitude is simple and free.

I am not just grateful to be part of the Camp Kiniya community for a second year. What I am truly grateful for are the memories that we will create, the new friendships we will foster and the growth I will watch come over each and every one of you over the course of this summer. Camp is the ultimate outlet for you to unleash your inner curiosity, ask a million questions, be scared, be pushed and be humbled.

If we all shared what we were grateful for on a daily basis we would be operating in an even more positive environment. We have to start by looking inward so we have the confidence to contribute and build each other up. Let’s change our lenses and show the world, our communities, and our friends how grateful we are. Jenn spent her first summer at Camp Kiniya in 2015 directing the trekking program. She realized how special the community is and was hooked, returning for the 2016 season. In the fall of 2016, Jenn was hired as manager of the product operations team at Vermont Bike Tours and Country Walkers, in Williston, VT. Her husband, #24014 Tom, works at Kiniya as the Director of Operations and Sustainability. They live at camp and Jenn is planning on being involved at Kiniya as much as possible this coming summer.

LEADERSHIP

At its core, The Leadership Development Program at Dudley and Kiniya is an experiential process that helps young people answer the questions: what does being “a Leader” mean? What does it mean to you? What does it mean at Camp?

12

The Camp Dudley News


T

he Leadership Development Program begins the moment campers step on campus for the first time and continues each summer no matter rank and title. Camp’s approach to leadership is deeply informed by our motto, “The Other Fellow First.” While being a leader is about organizing, managing and attending to the needs of all in your charge it is just as equally about the example you set and how you conduct yourself personally. Leadership is essentially being in service to others. From the earliest days of leadership development at our Camps, our approach to teaching leadership is experiential. There is no substitute for actual hands-on experience. That is why our Aides (the first years in our Leadership Development Program) are in cabins as part of a leadership team working with campers and learning directly from the Cabin Leader. Inherent in this experiential approach is building a safe place for failure, which can be the most powerful experience in our program. We try to foster an environment where you can experiment with different styles, push outside of your comfort zone, and ultimately discover your strengths and weaknesses as a leader. It has been said that camp is a good place to make a mistake, to fail. Leaders in the Dudley & Kiniya tradition can see it is this powerful mix of experiential training, dedication to personal growth, building quality relationships, and the willingness to make decisions with the broader community in mind that creates a good Leader: may we know them, be them, and raise them!

How did your camper experience shape your early ideas about leadership?

How has the leadership you developed while at Camp influenced your life today?

As a camper I had so many amazing role models to choose from, so many great people always looking out for me and for each other on a daily basis. Dudley is such an intensely positive place and we always talked about taking the Dudley spirit home with us and sharing it. Dudley is in essence its own particular “growth mindset” and has a way of getting into your bones while allowing you to get out of your comfort zone. I learned a lot about perseverance, grit, and teamwork.

Five summers working with Cubs (being in charge of a cabin, coaching a team, leading hikes, and running a division as a D-Head) absolutely influenced me to be a teacher, coach, and now, Head of School. I enjoyed focusing on the mission of Camp and trying to share that mission with the campers. Mission is everything at a school. Camp’s mission of demonstrating a concern for others is so critically important, especially today. The core values of an institution reflect its true character, and this is where Dudley is such a leader in the world. Being a young leader and having to organize vespers, write a chapel talk, manage council rings, coach a team, Sunday Talks.... this is classic leadership training, especially for a future educator. Just being given the charge of running a division, writing camper comments, organizing the daily schedule, and taking it all seriously while also having the summer of your life.... no better training anywhere. And you don’t even realize how much you are learning while it is happening.

As a camper to be immersed in an atmosphere where you set goals, you work towards them, all while having the time of your life, is really special. The education and business world talk about the importance of failure, the lessons one can learn from challenges and setbacks. Dudley is the safest place in the world to fail. Everyone is accepted at camp for who they are and there are so many people around ready to pick you up when you fall, to brush you off, and set you back on track. I think any leadership practice that I currently employ definitely revolves around “the other fellow first.”

Fanning is currently the Head of School at the Maple Street School in Manchester, VT.

How did your camper experience shape your early ideas about leadership?

How has the leadership you’ve developed while at Camp influenced your life today?

Before I started going to Camp, I looked up to the leaders in my life at home, but never felt I had the potential or drive to be considered one myself. I admired my parents, friends, and teachers for their confidence, kindness, and ability to connect with others on a deeper level, and yet I always told myself that I was too shy and afraid to develop those skills. It was more comfortable to remain silent and never take any chances.

I’ve found the leadership skills I have developed at Camp have allowed me to become more outgoing, more confident in my abilities and my decisions, and overall, a better student, friend, sister, and daughter. As a leader, it is essential that you be welcoming, attentive, kind, and understanding, and these values have improved my relationships throughout the year, especially within the classroom. While studying can very easily become the passive act of listening to a professor and taking notes, my background in leadership has pushed me to ask questions, lead class discussions, and most importantly, know when to ask for help. My experiences as a leader have helped me to improve myself and reach my own potential, and it has given me the tools to become the same kind of role model I looked up to as a kid!

Throughout my years as a camper at Kiniya, however, I gradually began to realize that anyone could become a leader in his or her own community. Leadership is so flawlessly intertwined into the spirit of the Camp community that I soon found myself with the confidence and courage to reach out to the girls around me and provide the support they needed to accomplish their own goals. Leadership is inherently an act of giving to others, and I soon found that the only thing better than gaining confidence in yourself is being able to instill that strength and confidence in others.

Emma is currently a sophomore at Skidmore College and will be returning as a Leader in 2017. Spring 2017

A Lesson on Fatherhood by #16119 Marlon Fisher as heard on Vermont Public Radio

him, dancing with him and watching every tiny movement — doesn’t compute for quite a few middle-aged, white, Vermont women. The feedback has been constant from day one. Everywhere I go and interact with new people, it ranges from mundane and silly to heartbreaking and cruel. I hear, “You’re so gentle with him, I can’t believe it…” “You’re giving mommy a break.” These are the silly comments. Of course I’m gentle with him; he was just born and he’s mine. I’m not just spending time with him; I’m not just babysitting. Fatherhood requires me to be present for him at all times. Of course, race comes into play. I get questions from “Were you a professional football player?” to “Were you in prison for felony murder?” and even, “Are you going to knock me down and take something from me?”

T

he thing I worried most about before my son was born was how a man without a father could become a caregiver to an infant.

All this while I’m holding, diapering, feeding and loving my son.

And I wouldn’t say that question was easy to resolve, but when he arrived and I held him, I knew right away that I wanted to stay home and raise him. I quit my full-time job and became his primary caregiver. So I’m a parent now, but I’m still a very social guy, and it’s important to me that my son meets people. We go to play groups and sing-a-longs, but mostly we like to walk around and visit people we know. On these same walks, my son and I have also encountered folks who don’t know us. And man, have they said some crazy, painful, off-the-wall stuff. What you need to know is I’m a tall, broad-shouldered black man in Vermont. Apparently, these qualities combined with a tiny infant strapped to my belly — me kissing him, singing to

18

The hardest part is that they’re assuming I’m my father: an absent, angry, disloyal, unkind, violent father. And that’s just the point — society is conditioned to believe that fathers are not caregivers and that black men are not good fathers. So the answer to the question about how a man without a father becomes a caregiver to his infant son is simple: I just do everything he didn’t do — and nothing that he did.

The Dudley/SLU Connection by #22835 Alexa Mitchell

I

n 2012, I started working at Camp Dudley, as well as starting as a first-year at St. Lawrence. I was a lifeguard and on the office staff, and this past summer I was also an intern in the communications department writing blog posts for the website. The connection between the two was not obvious to me until I started speaking with alumni from both, noticing Dudley/SLU apparel on both campuses, or just talking with my friends and realizing they know somebody that is related to camp or school. Camp Dudley is the oldest boy’s summer camp in the counThe Storey family — Ellie, Carter, Matt, Jess, and Rachel. try and has been providing boys with the opportunity to explore the Adirondacks Both Matt and Jess are through athletics, the arts, the outdoors, and spirituality since 1885. It is also located St. Lawrence graduates. in Westport, New York, along Lake Champlain, which just happens to be where I grew up. According to Camp Dudley’s current director, Matt Storey ’96, this connection started with Bob Goodwin, who was a camper at Dudley in 1942 and continued on as staff member and the head of the boathouse until 1979. He was also the soccer coach at St. Lawrence from 1963 to 1989. “Goodwin used to recruit campers he knew would love SLU for his soccer team,” Storey said. “The first I heard of SLU was from Bob Durocher who worked the Athletics Hut at camp and took over the soccer team after Goodwin at St. Lawrence,” Storey said. “Hearing about SLU from Bob was one of the reasons I went.” Storey, who started as a camper in 1985, the centennial of the camp, and then worked at Dudley every summer between his years at St. LawAlexa on duty at Swim Point. rence, said the connection between these two places helped him decide upon his career path. Storey was a leader at Dudley for multiple years and worked with special needs kids in Potsdam through the Big Brother/Little Brother program while at St. Lawrence. “To be working with kids, to be in athletics, to be in leadership, and to be at an organization that is stationed in the Adirondacks has a lot to do with my love for my time growing up here at camp and at St. Lawrence,” said Storey. While the first Dudley director to graduate from St. Lawrence was Wheaton Griffin ’68, the two were still just beginning their connection then. Now with the presence of Storey as director we can see quite the legacy trail this connection is leaving. Storey mentions that approximately five Dudley or Kiniya kids attend St. Lawrence each year, but that this number is growing, as four campers have already been accepted early decision this year. “All roads lead back to Dudley is a sentence I have heard time and time again, but I was skeptical of this, because that’s nearly impossible.” shared Erin Hogan ’19 who has attended Kiniya for nine years. “However, one night at The Java Barn I was chatting with two strangers and Dudley came up in conversation; we all shared our camper numbers and then started screaming the Dudley cheer right then and there outside of Java, and I knew the saying was true.” Erin agrees that her time at Camp Dudley at Kiniya has immensely affected her time at St. Lawrence, and I could not agree more with her. “Dudley encourages you This article was written for the Summer 2016 St. Lawrence Univer- to push the limits of your comfort and be successful at it.

entral to creating the sense of community at Kiniya is the Dining Hall, where our entire community is called to gather three times a day all summer long. The Dining Hall is the most-used facility on campus, the backdrop for precious memories, and it is the Heart of the Camp. Our 2016 campers said goodbye to the old Kiniya Dining Hall in a very special way. Each camper shared her reflection of what the Dining Hall meant to her on a note card. By the end of the season, more than 450 cards lined the walls of our beloved space. This collection of poems and pictures and quotes and thoughts were compiled and will be safely stored in our archives for generations to come. As background, the vision for this new space began in 2011, when we invited Breadloaf Architects of Middlebury, VT, to partner with us in the creation of our Master Site Plan. During this process it became appar-

20

ent that the former dining hall was not sufficient to serve our future needs and a recommendation to expand its footprint was made. The landslides and shoreline erosion of 2012 heightened our need to revisit this recommendation and to engage engineers about the positioning of the future Dining Hall. Based on the condition of the old facility and the proximity to the shoreline, these studies ultimately resulted in the recommendation to demolish and rebuild the facility at least 50 feet from its location, as opposed to renovating the structure to support future growth. These recommendations sent our Dining Hall project to the top of our priority list! We contracted with Breadloaf, a design-through-construction company, and our work began. The design and permitting phase took an entire two years to complete and we were delighted to receive permits in hand to begin construction in the fall of 2016.

The Camp Dudley News


Though we will miss the history and tradition of the old dining hall, we all know how crowded and hot it had become. We also know that every day (without fail) mealtime ends with “spontaneous� song and dance. Rather than limit our fun, we want to ensure the floors can safely support our community cheering and jumping up and down with raucous enthusiasm. As we near completion of our new spectacular building, I can report with full confidence that this facility is all that we hoped it would be! It is truly spectacular and will serve all of our future needs. I know our

campers will enjoy more elbow room at the table and a spacious feel with better air circulation. I also like to think that Helen V.B and Mimi and Jack Williams would be in awe of this beautiful new space. It has retained the spectacular views of Lake Champlain, incorporated repurposed beams from the old dining hall into stunning new tables and benches, and will be the future home of our beloved old camp bell that has called generations of girls to meals throughout the years!

Kiniya's 100th! The Countdown Begins...

1

T

here is great excitement in the air as we look ahead to 2018, Kiniya’s 100th summer of operation!

Planning and preparations are underway for a plethora of Centennial activities to commemorate this important time in our history. Marnie is forming a Centennial Planning Committee, inviting Kiniya Alumnae representatives from each former decade to join her in the exciting planning of this celebration, and encourages anyone interested in getting involved to reach out to her at Marnie@campdudley.org. Our vision for the Centennial Celebration includes two separate events. The first will be an in-season celebration with the campers of summer 2018 and the second will be at the conclusion of the camp season. The in-season celebration will be a oneday event creating an opportunity for campers and alumnae guests to come together and share their camp experiences and memories. Alumnae will arrive in the

22

morning (after inspection!) and participate alongside campers in some morning activities. Alumnae and campers will come together for a buffet lunch ‘neath the pines followed by an afternoon filled with opportunities to walk the grounds, share memories, and participate in structured programs with our campers. The second celebration will be in the form of a Kiniya Alumnae Reunion Weekend! Arriving on Friday afternoon and departing on Sunday morning, alumnae will have the opportunity to walk their footsteps from years past, enjoy instructor-led activities including paddling, sailing, tennis, archery, and ceramics, to name a few. Camp tours will be incorporated into the schedule as well as an optional hike to our Mansfield Property. The highlight of the weekend will be the Centennial Sit-down Dinner with live musical performances on Saturday evening.

The Camp Dudley News


Dates will be set in the coming months and announced in the fall edition of the CD News. Additional celebration ideas include: continuing to update the online archives specific to Kiniya and displaying more historic visuals in Kiniya’s community buildings (including the new Dining Hall, the future Lodge & future Leadership & 2 Alumni Center). In addition, we will incorporate a special way to honor our founder, Helen Van Buren, and Kiniya’s former Owners & Directors of 51 years, Jack and Mimi Williams. Lastly, the 2018 CDA Reunion at Dudley will include an opportunity to come and visit Kiniya for a celebratory 100th anniversary luncheon! 100 years of operation is a remarkable achievement, and we have much to celebrate! I invite you all to join us in commemorating this special anniversary in 2018!

OFFSEASON ADVENTURES

A

couple of months back, we welcomed the Winter Leadership Trip to campus, joining in on some Dudley fun, Adirondack adventures, and leadership training ahead of the coming summer. ALs and Leaders rolled in on Thursday night, greeted by a feast thanks to Josh Olcott. After dinner, the young men planned out a mid-winter Adirondack hike for the next day, prepped all of the gear, organized the logistics, and set leadership roles for the experience. We capped off the night around the MacLean fireplace with a vesper. After Evan George’s Chapel Talk on Friday morning, we set out for ADK Loj with snowshoes, hot bowls of chili, and a course set to Phelps Mountain. The weather was unseasonably warm and rainy, but our spirits were high as the men reveled in the spirit of Dudley reunion. We bagged the peak in the early afternoon and headed down the mountain with a strong sense of accomplishment. That night, Mason Marsh led us in a fantastic vesper on leadership qualities. Saturday morning kicked off with a Chapel Talk from Sam Widing, some hot breakfast, and a CPR course led by Pete “KotzE” Kotz. By lunchtime, we were CPR certified and ready for a First Aid course. But first, we checked out the Leadership Barn, which is coming together incredibly well. We were all excited to see the progress and to imagine the possibilities during this upcoming summer. That night, after a long day of learning, we opened up the gym for some good old fashioned pick-up soccer. With some newly constructed barriers along the courtside thanks to Jeff Schwoebel, the court was perfect for fast play. Following some fierce competition and plenty of laughs, Evan gave us a preview of the summer to come, and Will Harrigan led us in a final vesper on the beauty of diverse perspectives. We capped off the trip the following morning with an informal Sunday Chapel service down at Swim Point, a jog down the Dudley Road, and a thorough white glove clean up of the Lodge. Thanks to all who joined in, who helped out, and who made this trip possible.

W

ith the help of Marnie, Kat, Mollie, Paul, and Tom (and his dog Mango) our 6th JL Leadership Weekend was a success! We focused on different leadership styles and the various responsibilities that we will acquire as Junior Leaders this coming summer. When we weren’t in sessions, we survived a frigid walk up to the new leadership barn, practiced our outdoor cooking skills with Mollie and Paul, and continuously tended to a toasty fire in MacLean. Three of the many highlights of the weekend included Gail’s delicious cooking, reconnecting with our Kiniya sisters, and the construction of a Lego zoo. We also enjoyed leading some of the staples of the The 2017 Kiniya JL Leadership weekend attendees summer experience including vespers, chapel talks, and a council ring! This weekend gave us a sneak peek of summer 2017 and we can’t wait for all of the memories that we will make together with our campers. Twenty-four of those who will be 2017 Dudley Junior Leaders (a new record!) gathered in Westport March 17-19 for the annual Leadership Weekend. The weekend was supported by Evan, Tom, Matt, Jake Rutter, Dave Nelson, George Wells, Tom Dils, Owen Marsh, and Davo. Of course, one of the highlights were meal times when Josh served up some classic JL Weekend fare. The weekend serves as an introduction to both taking on the challenge of being a Dudley Leader and becoming an employee for the first time. Discussion and training centered around the Motto, Mission, and Core Values, giving and receiving feedback, and our roles as mentors to campers. Highlights included a hike to a very snowy Stacy Brook Site 1, an outdoor cooking class, and a showing of the documentary, “The Mask You Live In,” which explores the definitions of masculinity in America. However, the most important aspect of the weekend is that the participants make it all happen by leading vespers, running a chapel service, putting together an extravaganza, and organizing a hike. Judging from this group the future of Dudley leadership is very bright!

MACE CHASM FARM 810 Mace Chasm Road • Keeseville, NY 12944

The Camp Dudley News


M

y name is Courtney Grimes-Sutton and along with #16827 Asa Thomas-Train we are the head farmers here at Mace Chasm Farm in Keeseville, NY. Every year during the growing season we are joined by three or four other amazing farmers, who are here to learn about how we do what we do at MCF and to explore this fantastic region. In agriculture - particularly small and medium scale agriculture – the most important part of our studies takes place working in the fields, barns, washrooms, shops, and offices of farms that we admire. It is here that we will complete our foundations in the basic laws of physics, gain our BA in Work Ethic, and obtain a PHD in Problem Solving! We will also provide an incredible boost for those farms where we have studied, providing fresh insight and hard work, and we are grateful to the growing ranks of people who have worked here. What we find is an agricultural field that bears huge responsibility to both society and ecology but, strangely, has been undervalued in our modern economy. Together, we can all help to reset the course in supporting better farming practices. We need healthy food, we need living wages, and we need to steward our resources like we mean it – at every scale of production. In 2012, Asa and I closed on this 125-acre Mace Chasm Farm, where the AuSable River spills into Lake Champlain. After getting to know this land a bit during the rainy 2013 season, we honed in on how to eliminate tillage on these sloped, sandy loam fields and how to become a diversified livestock farm, managing our pastures for optimum productivity and fertility. On this land, we rotationally graze Devon cattle, Katahdin sheep, a variety of poultry, and what have become Mace Chasm pigs. We are also ‘vertically integrated’ on the smallest of scales - we do our own value-added work, preparing sausages, cuts, smoked meats, and grinds in a Butcher Shop right here on our Farm. By doing the work ourselves we are able to present unique, exceptional meat products to our local market. We have just launched a dry-cured meats operation – making salami and whole muscle cures during the deep cold, quiet season here when the human population shrinks to just the hardiest few and the Farmers Markets are closed. The cured meats will then be ready for everyone from the avid outdoorsman/woman to foodies. We are thrilled that Camp Dudley has set a precedent with their commitment to local farms. The food on the tables at camp is healthier and ever more delicious thanks to that effort, and in turn, these local farms become even more viable. Come by and see us soon!

Giving Appreciated Stocks — Why now is a great time to give Many donors don’t realize how valuable gifts of appreciated stock are as a way of making their Annual Fund donation or supporting Camp Dudley and Camp Kiniya’s other development goals. Giving long term appreciated securities, defined as those held for more than 12 months, usually has positive benefits for the donor. While we encourage you to check with your accountant or tax advisor, when long term appreciated stock is given to Camp as a gift, the capital gains taxes associated with the sale of this stock usually no longer apply. The current market value of the securities also generally serves as the amount of the charitable deduction. This applies to gifts of a single stock, mutual funds, ETFs and other types of securities. The key to realizing the maximum benefit is to give the stock directly to Camp rather than giving the cash you realize from the sale.

28

Making such a gift is fast and easy and is usually executed by your broker at your direction. Simply provide your broker this information: Gifts of securities can be made through Vanguard by calling 1-800-337-8476. FBO Camp Dudley, Inc. DTC#0062 Acct. #23054865. Please contact Dawn Gay at 518-962-4720 with details of the transfer so that we can confirm the gift when it arrives and see that it is credited correctly. Benefits from gifts of stock make sense for Camp and also for you. Please check with your financial advisor for the details related to your situation.

New members continue to join, including #18794 Tom McDonough, the Society’s youngest member to date. He expresses his thoughts about the Society this way: “I found the Beckman Society to be an easy and important way to give back to camp. Before deciding to commit, I knew very little about how the Beckman Society worked. I assumed that the process would be complicated and focused on those with much lower camp numbers. Once I began asking questions, I realized how effortless the process could be. Following in the footsteps of Dudley mentors, role models, and family members, I signed up and joined a group of men and women committed to giving what they can. I have found this to be a truly unique and meaningful way to play a part in camp’s giving culture.” Please join the more than 100 donors who have named Camp Dudley as a recipient of a bequest in their will or as a beneficiary of life insurance policies, retirement plans, appreciated stock or real estate. Use the enclosed response envelope or email Dave Langston, Director of Development (dave@campdudley.org) for more information. We recommend that you discuss your plans with your personal attorney or financial planner to assure that your long-range goals are fulfilled.

Development Update: #15133 Mark Valkenburgh

S

o what does it take to have a successful development program at Camp Dudley and Camp Kiniya? Recently we put this question to #15133 Mark “Valky” Valkenburgh, Chair of the Development Committee of the Camp Dudley Board of Trustees. “First and perhaps most importantly,” said Mark, “it takes two incredible Camps that have the ability to provide life changing and inspirational programs for the young men and women who are with us in the summer. We’ve been doing that for generations so we are very fortunate to have a loyal and generous cadre of alumni, parents, and friends!” Valky continued, “Even with great programs, it takes passionate, creative, and caring Leaders to engage our Campers at all levels, and challenge them to try new things and find the friends that will last a lifetime. Without these fundamental cornerstones we wouldn’t have a need for development activities.” With these essentials in place, Mark explained that the Development Committee for our Camps aims to support raising the funds not covered by tuition through three primary channels: the Annual Fund, Capital Projects, and The Beckman Society. Valky says that a great program plus short, intermediate, and long-range development goals still aren’t enough to assure success. “We are constantly looking to engage our community in ways that deepen the relationship with our Camps.” He highlighted the Leadership Drive that is held every summer for all the paid staff at both Camps. “From JLs to senior staff, we ask our Leadership Team on both campuses to support the Annual Fund with what is often their first gift. It is another way of putting ‘The Other Fellow First,’ and helping to instill a culture of giving. The size of the gift doesn’t matter! But every gift does!” Mark cited the host of ways that donors can make a contribution in support of our Camps: as Evergreen Donors, Honor-A-Leader, The Online Auction, The Annual Fund, specific Capital Campaigns, and The Beckman Society. All contribute to the broad goals of the development office. However, each is designed to offer opportunities to donors to support aspects of Camp that they feel passionate about. “For our Camps to have a successful development program, it takes many things,” concludes Valky. “But above all, we are so fortunate to have such a generous and committed camp community of individuals and families that believe deeply in supporting the Dudley mission and whose lives have been positively changed by the Dudley experience. Unquestionably, the spirit of ‘The Other Fellow First’ is embodied in the way our Camp community gives back so generously with its time, talent, and treasure.”

2016 Annual Giving Recap It happens at the end of every year. Your mailboxes get stuffed with requests for your support of wide ranging charitable needs. We know that many of our friends in the Dudley community find the holiday season, in conjunction with the approach of the calendar year end, to be the perfect time to make their philanthropy come to life. 2016 was no different! Our goal for the 2016 Annual Fund was $825,000. With less than a week to go in 2016 we still needed $75,000 for us to hit that target. We sent out the word and YOU responded. In fact, a record number responded! When 2017 arrived we had hit the mark and slid ever so slightly past our goal! Thank you! We are proud to report that a total of 2,024 donors contributed a total of $836,555 in 2016!

We are fond of saying that every gift matters. It has never been more true! It literally took every gift for us to say, “We did it!!” THANK YOU! The Annual Fund is that all-important source of revenue which makes our scholarship program possible, supports leadership development activities, and provides for some necessary facility upkeep. Its flexibility allows our directors and staff to address the most important camp needs. We’ll be back in 2017, seeking your renewed support for the Annual Fund and hoping for a little less dramatic finish in the closing days of the year. Please consider joining our friends who are Evergreen Donors and give monthly to our Camps. www.campdudley.org/givenow

What are you most excited about?

The Dudley Gap Experience is bringing together two of my most cherished life experiences, boarding school and Camp. My time as a high school boarding student taught me the importance and benefit of living together with peers and teachers as one family. At Camp, I have built on this same model engaging in new experiences that challenge me to expand my comfort zone. I am incredibly excited to have a new Gap family and to grow along side these young men and women in a similar fashion. I can’t wait to begin this adventure and see what all future Gap-ers have to contribute to Camp, the Adirondacks, and my own continued development!

I’m looking forward to creating that Dudley & Kiniya cabin-feel with our group, working together as a team, and helping each other grow in the process. I know the expeditions will be incredible, and yet I’m even more excited to see these men and women discover the Adirondacks in a new way. There is so much to do up here, it’s hard to put into words. Living up here has opened my eyes to how incredible life in the northcountry can be, and I’m looking forward to sharing that experience with others.

from Costa Rica, where they spent a month or so. “We’ve done a lot of exploring, from the cloud forest of Monteverde, where we stayed and hiked a couple of days, to the highest part of CR, we traveled (on dirt roads) north and west to Lake Arenal. As you go further west, I am told it gets progressively lower as you move to the Pacific Ocean; it is more humid, hotter as you go. We went to Osa for the rain forest jungle and unspoiled beaches with never more than just a few people for miles in any direction. Making friends in this little village of Nuuevo Arenal is easy. Lots of little family-owned restaurants, each with its own style, little stores, a few clothing/souvenir shops, a school, a few churches, electric company offices, social security offices, police station, a gas station. Lots of other birds — toucan, parrots, including the beautiful scarlet macaws. We would also hear the fierce gigantic roar of howler monkeys that lived nearby. We are learning to ferret out more Spanish words as we acclimate to hearing the Spanish language so often. My twenty-five years as a summer camp director, where making a fool of myself at any moment is a necessary job requirement on a daily basis, makes it easy for me to act the fool as I play Spanish Charades and add a few simple words to try to make my side of the conversation somewhat meaningful.” All best, Wheaton and Eileen

This past summer my 8-year old nephew, JB Stokes was up visiting my parents summer home in Schroon Lake and we convinced my little sister to take him over to Dudley where he was given an amazing tour and now it is all he talks about. He can’t wait to be old enough to be able to follow in his Uncle John-John’s foot steps . . . couldn’t be more excited for that day for him. I continue to ‘Dudley fish’ by wearing my Dudley clothes and place stickers on the back of my car in hopes of finding other Dudley folks wherever we have lived. We would love to host a reunion at our home in Raleigh if that is ever a consideration. It would be an honor to be a home where Dudley/Kiniya folks could gather like I did when we would go see Willy in Philadelphia. Thank you for all that you all do to keep the Dudley tradition going!!!

It was Steve’s first attempt at a high peak and Patrick’s second. We decided on Big Slide based on trail, weather and our condition. We were hiking by 7:30 am under brilliant blue skies with temperatures in the low 20’s. There was plenty of ice and steep pitches to keep us challenged throughout the hike. Patrick, with his NOLS experience fresh in his mind, took the lead within a half mile from the summit. The view was amazing and we all had the opportunity to take some pictures. We were extremely cautious on the descent as it was solid ice for most of the time. After seven hours of hiking with great conversation, we finished at 2:30 pm. Steve and Patrick now have the 46’r bug and want to chip away at it when they can. I told them that I would love to join to help them reach their goal. It reminded me of when my son David and I finished our 46’r quest. David was the same age as Patrick and it was the best experience of my life. I hope to do this again next year for the Dudley auction.”

His grandfather and uncle are experienced boat builders and have taught him, over the years, some of the basics of craftsmanship.

His boat will span 20 ½ feet in length, and he hopes to launch it in the Charles River when he’s done.

CURSED?

By #8838 EP Moore

“I

ts all our company here?” Eddie Schmidt, the director asked, mimicking the Peter Quince he had played in our production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream some years earlier. We were, all 15 of us, assembled in the rehearsal space beneath the theatre for the first reading of our production of Macbeth, which we would perform in two weeks for a group of about five hundred 10-15 year old boys. (I had been cast as Banquo, which I rather liked, as I would be killed, and therefore off stage, in Act III.) “We have only a short time,” he continued, “to pull this production of Macbeth together.” A GASP from all 15 of us. Any actor, anyone who knows Shakespeare, knows that the play is cursed – and that an actor, indeed anyone associated with the production, should never mention the play by name in the theatre. NEVER – NEVER – NEVER! “That’s just B.S.,” he asserted. “This play is Macbeth and I will continue to refer to it by that name.” Fine for him, for us it would be The Scottish Play. Well, the rehearsals went swimmingly. We all were off book by the end of the first week, the costumes arrived on time from The Costumer in Boston (and all fit), Billy Hahn, our Macbeth (you can cite the character by name) and Scott Sylvester, our Macduff, had their sword fight down pat (remember the audience was BOYS!) and had done so without piercing each other, the stage (a combination of thrust and proscenium) was taking shape, the technical apparatus to project my ghost image in the banquet scene (remember I was playing Banquo) worked fine, and we had plenty of blood (red dye and Karo syrup) which would certainly impress this audience. All was well. What was this about a curse?

NOT SO FAST!!! As the day of the dress rehearsal approached: Mandy Murray, our house manager, while checking the sight lines from the proscenium, fell onto the thrust stage and twisted her right knee rather badly. A trooper, with the help of a cane from the prop room, she soldiered on. Jan Henderson, the technical director and stage manager, while cutting the hole in the thrust for the witches’ cauldron, slipped through the hole and scraped his lower right shin. A wash cloth, a swab of iodine, two Advil, and he was set. And Banquo? While at work he fell off a ladder into the fender of a truck, and like Jan, badly scraped his right shin. He managed to limp through rehearsal, which, thankfully, required little movement. We did manage to put on the production – to thunderous applause – and then retired to the local watering hole to celebrate. Billy, our Macbeth, rather smugly, we thought, chided the three of us for our miscues, taking unwarranted pleasure in having evaded the curse. NOT SO FAST, Billy Boy!!! Every Sunday morning before Chapel, a group of us would get together to play pick up basketball. Three minutes into the game, Billy went down – a very badly twisted right ankle which kept him on crutches for two weeks. Nanny, nanny, boo, boo! One twisted right knee, two scraped lower right shins and a badly twisted right ankle. Draw you own conclusions. But for me it was, is and forever shall be The Scottish Play.

EP Moore was at Dudley for 45 years, from 1955-99, as a camper, leader and staff member. He was Hike Hut director and a regular on the baseball diamond and Witherbee stage. He teaches English at the Ponahou School in Honolulu, HI. This first appeared in The Ponahou Magazine.

Errol Frankel of Pelham, NY, passed away unexpectedly November 28th 2016. He was 66 years old. Errol was the father of #18534 James and #17934 John who passed away in 2010. Errol was, above all, a beloved family man and neighbor who will be remembered by generations of family members and friends. Born in Manhattan, Errol grew up in Brooklyn and Mahopac, New York. He graduated salutatorian from LIU Brooklyn in 1972, majoring in accounting. Although it was quickly evident that auditing was not his passion, Errol’s accounting degree led to the most important development of his life when he met Elise Falkinburg as they worked together on a job in Piscataway, NJ. Errol and Elise were married in October 1979. Errol obtained his MBA from Columbia Business School and had a successful career in finance, working in various roles for the Irving Trust Company, Louis Dreyfuss Company, and Schlumberger. Errol and Elise settled in Pelham, NY, and after the birth of his second son, James, in 1991 Errol left the workforce and devoted himself fulltime to his family. Errol committed his time to coaching his kids on the sports fields of Pelham, lending his expertise to serve on a mayor’s committee on local taxes, and in clearing his neighbors’ sidewalks and drives with his snow-blower each winter. In the last decade Errol returned to work as a Senior Vice President at Tokio Marine HCC, a role described as, “The best job [he] ever had,” entering seamlessly into the role of elder statesman of the office. Errol is survived by his wife Elise, son James, and countless neighbors and friends. He is pre-deceased by his son John, parents Vera and Edward, and beloved in-laws John and Florence Falkinburg.

Following is the Invocation for Dudley’s Board of Trustees August 2016 Meeting by #12664 Ted Smith

Home. A simple word that has such rich

connotations. A home is not just a house, or a physical abode, but a place to gather with family. As we get older, home is a place to reunite, a communal place that evokes memories of childhood and family and meals and bedrooms and common spaces. Home means physical and emotional comfort. Being a French teacher, I find it fascinating when certain words exist in one language but not at all in another. In French, the word “insupportable” has no English comparison. It means: unbearably pompous in a petulant kind of way; someone you just cannot deal with. One word in French, 14 words in English. Conversely, the French have no word for home. They have house and building and family and comfort, but no word for . . . home. I live in Maine, which is a fiercely proud state, especially as it pertains to the natives

who have lived there for decades and even centuries. Unless you have lived in Maine for generations, you are considered to be “from away” even if you have, like me, lived there for 18 years and raised a family there. I still can’t call Maine home as far as the native Mainers are concerned, which is not unlike Dudley, where you are not a true Dudleyite until you get your Camp Number. I went to college across the lake in Vermont, which was home for awhile. To get to Dudley from Maine, there are many different routes that are about the same time and distance, but I always choose to go through Middlebury. It is a chance for me to reconnect with a place I called home for four years, but there is another reason I travel that route over the Middlebury mountain gap: that stretch of Green Mountains represent the last hurdle, the last physical barrier, that I need to overcome before I descend into the Champlain Valley every time I take my journey back to the one consistent home I have had for my entire life, which is here at Dudley, back home. I suspect many of you take a similarly familiar journey every time you return home to Dudley. Whether it is heading up the Northway or across the lake, flying into continued . . .

Albany or Burlington, you all have your landmarks as you wind your way back home. Coming home is a thrill. Last night, entering the dining room was like coming home to my family as I looked around and knew every face in the room. At our Dudley family reunions, we do not shake hands — rather, we hug.

Dudley will be here forever, and I am proud as a Trustee that we are part of caring for this particular era of Dudley’s history. As with every meeting, we have important work to do today. We can only face these challenges together, as a family.

Back to my linguistic roots with something our Commencement speaker at Berwick taught me last June: the root of the word decency is decere, which in Latin, has ties to the word “obligation.” Imagine the place our world would be if every language shared that credo: Decency is an obligation, in everything that we do, every decision that we make.

Today and this weekend, our Dudley family reunites from all corners of this country. People have traveled many miles to get here, to the place many of us call home. Let us welcome our brothers and sisters with hugs rather than handshakes. In every discussion we have today, let us bear in mind the best interest of our family members as we work to nurture our Camps for the future. Let us do the work we have been entrusted to do by our family members, and do our work with thought and love and care, and decency.

Dudley is our home, we are a family, and we are the Trustees of this home. We are Trustees, and inherent in that word is the fact that Dudleyites have entrusted us to take care of our Camps, our home. As Trustees, we are in a position to make an indelible stamp on an eternal place:

Let us join hands in reflection:

Welcome home, everybody.
