Creating The Last Whistle has always felt like crafting a panorama of sorts—a collection of small, meaningful moments that come together to tell the story of the summer. Years ago, as a camper in Dudley’s photography major, I first fell in love with the art of photography, and more specifically the panorama. Back then, creating a panorama meant carefully capturing individual photos and stitching them together manually—a far cry from holding your phone up and panning it steadily from left to right. Recently, I’ve rediscovered my love for panoramas and their ability to be both a single, powerful image and a series of smaller stories, each with its own meaning. Additionally, this year, after spending

much of my time focused on video, it was refreshing to return to photography, while striving to bring the “feel” of video into the pages of this book. This 86th Last Whistle would not exist without a great team. Matt, thank you for your incredible leadership and stewardship of this place and for giving me the opportunity to do what I do and a 7th one of these books. Anita, Dawn, Evan, and Jess, thank you for your help with lists, proofreading, personal support, and so much more. Brendan, there are people who love Bladerunnner, there are people who love ESPN, there are people who love so many things, and some that like nothing at all. Thank you so much for your many, many years of guidance and friendship, and I look forward to the many years to come. To the Pubs team—this book is a collection of your incredible work this summer. Thank you. Kyle, my right hand, your fresh perspective and remarkable photos were a highlight of my summer, and I hope everyone appreciates the effort and talent you brought to the Pubs team this summer, and even more so, thank you for your friendship and partnership on this journey!! Finally, to all of you: without you, there would be no “best ever” summer and no Last Whistle. Thank you for filling these pages with fun and fellowship and making #140 one to remember!

# 137 5 8 Ja ke Ru tter Presented on August 17, 2024 by #18801 Drew Rider

Good evening. Awarded at the end of every summer, The Last Whistle Dedication is one of the highest honors one can receive at Camp Dudley. Presented to a member of our community who shows a devotion and love towards others, and this place we all cherish, and who has an unwavering commitment to living by the motto, The Other Fellow First. This year, it is my distinct honor to award the dedication of the 86th Last Whistle to #13758, Jake Rutter. Congratulations Jake! Jake first came to Camp as a baby, yes a baby, in 1973, the year he was born. Jake’s parents, #9411 Whit Rutter and #12496 Susan Rutter, were both working on Staff, which meant that Jake spent the first few summers of his life as, what was then called a “staff brat,” living on Staff Hill. This fact makes Jake part of a very small group of people who have been attending Dudley for literally their entire lives. Additionally, Jake is part of a long lineage of Dudleyites who have been attending Camp since the late 1800s. Jake’s great-grandfather, #410 Ed Austin, first came to Dudley as a camper in 1898. In the years since, Jake’s great-uncle, father, brothers, and daughters have all been campers, and there have been few summers in the last one hundred and twenty-six years where a member of Jake’s family has not been attending or working at either Dudley or Kiniya. Camp Dudley is in Jake’s blood and a part of his bones, and his love for this place runs so deep, that when the time came to get married to his now wife, #21158 Glenn Patterson, the couple opted to do so right here at North Point in August of 2005. With Glenn, Jake is a wonderful father of three daughters, #20958 Mahala, #22758 Beavan, and #23858 Celia, all of whom have attended Kiniya and worked at Dudley. In discussing this dedication with Glenn prior to writing it, she remarked that while one of the things that Jake is most proud of in life is being the father to three remarkable women,

there was a pang of sadness that Jake would never be able to have his kids experience the magic of summer at Dudley. Fortunately, the stars aligned, and a year after Celia was born, Camp Dudley welcomed Kiniya into our community, providing a place for Jake’s daughters to have some of the best summers of their lives. Throughout his time at Dudley, Jake has served in many roles. After his summers as a kid on Staff Hill, Jake finally got to attend Camp as a Cub in 1984, rising through the camper and leadership ranks, and going on to become a Leader in 1993. After several years as a Leader in the '90s, Jake took some summers off from Camp, though he was never far away, and made a habit of visiting and attending most work weekends and reunions. Then, in 2011, Jake decided it was time to return to Camp, but rather than making his way back to Dudley, he made the jump to the other side of the Lake and worked at Kiniya as a part of their Outdoors program. Many of you probably know this, but there are few bigger cheerleaders for Camp Kiniya than Jake. After that summer, he spent the summers of 2012 and 2013 splitting his time between both of our Camps and

Dedication then finally, in 2014, Jake was asked to work in the Hike Hut, where he has been ever since.

Jake, we are all so incredibly fortunate to have you in our lives, and thank you for being such a wonderful steward of the culture and traditions of this Now, as the head of the Hike Hut and the Dudley place we all love, and even more so, thank you for Outdoors Program, Jake is responsible for running being such an incredible friend to so many. I am what is essentially an entire summer camp within honored to present you with the dedication of The our broader Camp. I cannot overstate how com- 86th Last Whistle. plex the logistics of sending hundreds of boys into the Adirondacks every week is, making sure every- And with that, please join me in congratulating, one has the gear, medication, supplies, and food once again, #13758, Jake Rutter. Congratulations they need to have a successful trip. Jake does this, Jake! and manages his entire team, always with a positive, calm, and measured attitude, and usually a big smile on his face, while often accommodating some unique requests. Far more than his many years spent here, and all the work he has put in during that time, what makes Jake truly deserving of this high honor is the member of this community that he is. Underneath that burly Vermonter shell, there is one of the kindest, most compassionate people you could ask for in your life. I have watched for many years now how Jake goes out of his way to make everyone here feel like they belong, and that they are a part of the Dudley community. Whether they are brand new or have been coming back for decades. In the words of our Director, Matt Storey, “Jake loves Dudley with all of his might, and his institutional knowledge, quick wit, and love of time in the outdoors makes Dudley a better place.” Everyone’s life is better with Jake in it. No matter what kind of day you are having, whether it be one of your best of the summer or one of your worst, you will never be disappointed by sitting down in an Adirondack chair on the Hike Hut porch next to Jake, or tossing some discs on the disc golf course, and having a conversation about anything, usually set to some pretty great music. He is an incredible listener, always a calm voice of reason, and one of the kindest, funniest, and bighearted people you could have the pleasure of knowing. It might sound overly simple, but Jake truly is just a great person to have around. He never fails to make people smile, always makes every person feel like they belong, and has a special ability to make everyone’s day a little, or a lot, brighter.

F r iday, J un e 2 6 , 2 02 4 Good morning, Camp Dudley. My name is Kevin Cianciolo. I am the Leader in Williams Cabin and the Assistant D-Head in the Seniors. For those of you who are new at Camp, every morning, except on Sundays, a Leader will come up here and share a short experience or story with a message or moral. I know everyone is tired and hungry this early, but I encourage you all to listen closely. You might take something valuable away from it. Growing up, I was fortunate to have two older brothers, Cameron and Colin. Around the house, it was a constant that I was always asking, “where are Cam and Col? Where are the guys? What are they doing? Why are they going?” They mean the world to me. As I grew up, it was almost inevitable that I would look up to them; they were my role models. I wanted to be like them and do the same things they did… I admired them. As I grew older, I couldn’t help but compare myself to my brothers and their achievements. Both of them were strong athletes and good students. I always held myself to high expectations, constantly comparing myself to them. This often led to a downward spiral in my mind, thinking I was not doing well enough in school or not performing well enough in sports. I felt like I was always falling short.

the moment. Don’t let these expectations steal your time away from your summer here at Camp. This is the best place on Earth, and it is crucial that we focus on our precious experiences here.

When I came to Camp Dudley, I wish I could say that I had a mindset shift immediately and went on worry-free. This was not the case, but I started to understand that everyone’s journey is different. Although you might not be the best on the soccer field, or the star of the Saturday Night Show, maybe you can make one heck of a bracelet, and that’s awesome. Here at Camp, I saw that people were celebrated for their own achievements and differences, not by comparing them to others.

This summer, embrace the now and savor every single day you have here at Camp. Take the time to appreciate the beauty of each moment, from the friendships you build here to the activities you engage in. Don’t be too hard on yourself; remember that it’s okay to have expectations and goals, but it’s equally important to keep them realistic. Strive to exceed them, but also give yourself grace and acknowledge your progress. By focusing on your unique journey, and being fully present here, you can make the most of your summer, grow in charThis summer at Camp, it’s important that you focus acter, and create life-long memories. This is the on your own personal achievements and goals. best place on Earth, so cherish every experience When we worry too much about our expectations and live each day to the fullest. and unrealistic comparisons, it takes us away from - #23050

Thur sday, J uly 4 , 20 24 Good morning Camp Dudley, and Happy 4th of July! My name is Will Burke, I am the leader in Post Cabin, and I hate the woods. I hate going on hikes, I hate sleeping outdoors, and I hate bugs so much. The logical assumption from what I just told you all is that I hate Cabin Overnights, but that could not be farther from the truth. That might sound like it makes no sense, and it’s okay, because it doesn’t. I dislike everything about the Plebe Overnight experience, but every summer and every session, the Cabin Overnight is always my most fond memory. The reason for that is because I cook a mean hamburger. If you don’t believe me, you are more than welcome to ask any of my campers what they thought of my burgers. The time in the Plebe Overnight from around 5:30 - 7pm is my favorite time all summer. I love starting the fire, I love cooking, and I love the compliments I get from my campers. It all starts with securing spices and a block of butter from the K-Crew pre-trip to ensure I make the tastiest burgers. I put in extra effort to make the experience as good as possible. I butter the buns and toast them, I season the patties heavily, and then I cook them in bacon grease. I also take my time with the hot dogs. I score each one to make sure they all get warm through and get extra juicy. This all may seem pretty simple, because it is, but I find it extremely fulfilling. Putting in work to make these burgers and dogs for my campers fills me with an immense feeling of satisfaction. And because of this, I end up loving everything else about the overnight. Well, maybe not loving, but tolerating. The point of Camp Dudley is to make sure everyone tries as many new things as possible in all four of our pillars, which are athletics, arts, outdoors, and spirituality. This means, over the course of the summer, you might have to go to a new program area for the first time, go into the woods for the first time, or play a sport you don’t play at home. And, some of the time, you are not going to like what you have to do. If you don’t love team competition, I promise there is something for you in it. You could

find you have a knack for coming up with cheers or taking down stats of all the players. If you don’t think you’re particulary artistic, but you find yourself at Brodie for Team Time, maybe you’ll discover that you make a mean bracelet or enjoy sculpting clay. And, if you hate going into the woods, maybe you’ll find out that you love cooking burgers. Camp Dudley’s philosophy is about growth through new experiences. It’s about pushing yourself out of your comfort zone to find new interests and strengths. The outdoors might seem daunting, but each experience has the potential to teach you something valuable about yourself. Embracing the challenge of something new can lead to discovering hidden talents and passions you never knew you had. There is something for everyone here, and if at first you think you hate doing something, I challenge you to look a little deeper and try to find something that makes the rest of it worth it. So, this summer, take the opportunity to explore, to push your boundaries, and to find the silver lining in each challenge. You might just discover that what you thought you hated can become one of your favorite memories. - #21420

Fr iday, J uly 5 , 20 24 Good morning Camp Dudley! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Paul Russell, and I am the Leader in Beal Lodge this summer. As my life rapidly tumbled into the start of summer, I have to say that I honestly was not every excited for Camp to begin. In fact, in the days leading up to my long trip to Westport, NY, I had regrets about deciding to come to Camp Dudley for another summer. My friends from college and back home were all heading West, to Wyoming or Montana, to guide fly fishing trips, hunt, and spend their summers on some of the most pristine ranches in the world. They were getting a taste of the real world, and in doing so, exploring the wild, distant West. I felt like I was missing out. Yet again, I was going to Dudley, and I would be spending my summer with 13-year-old boys. Working at an all-boys summer camp seemed to be monotonous, for lack of a better word, as my friends urged me to try something new and step outside of the “summer camp bubble.” Yet, this negative mindset changed very quickly. As soon as I pulled onto campus, I was greeted by both new and familiar smiling faces, and a bear hug from Matt and Evan, which is a moment that I look forward to all off-season. I was back on the shores of Lake Champlain, and all my regrets and worries about the upcoming summer seemed to vanish. Despite a few long days of trainings and meetings, And my message to you today is this: don’t try to.

Monday, J uly 8, 20 24 Good morning, Camp Dudley. My name is Ryan McNamara, and I am a Leader in Union Cabin, and I really don’t like being alone! I actually find it terrifying. The idea of only having the voices in your head as company scares me. Or scared me, I should say. This would change when I was a Junior in High School. Every year at Holderness School, the Junior class goes into the woods for 11 days, known as Outback or OB. The first four with a group, then the following four alone, and then back with the group for the last three days. This means that I would have to spend four days alone in the wintery New Hampshire spring, with most nights below freezing. Even though me and all of my classmates were spread out 200 yards apart from each other throughout the valley, I felt isolated. I mean, I was isolated. In the moment it was horrible! The only things I had were my clothes, two full Nalgenes of water of course, a sleeping bag, a sleeping pad, a tarp, some paracord, a box of matches, a whistle, a pencil, a journal, two lollipops, three Twizzlers, 2 ramen packs, a jar of peanut butter, a bag of banana chips, a loaf of lemon poppy seed bread, a pack of animal crackers, three hot chocolate packs, two lemonade packs, a Hershey’s chocolate bar, and a box of raisins. I didn’t touch the raisins, by the way. Needless to say, I had limited resources, however, that wasn’t what made it so bad. What made it so bad was that I was alone. Being alone forced me to get creative and make the most out of this experience, even going as far as using snowballs to keep my hand-eye coordination sharp, singing “Boys in the Hood” on repeat, and obtaining the record for the largest fire on OB, since I burned a 5 by 5-foot circle into the ground. Despite my situation forcing me to find ways to keep busy, it also forced me to be at peace with myself. Every emotion flooded my body while I was out there. Nervousness for the unexpected. Excitement of the opportunity of a challenge. Sadness since I missed my friends and family. Determination to stay alive!

Boredom from sitting around for too long. Terrified when the wind howled at night. Thankful when I read my solo letters, peaceful knowing I was going to be okay, and satisfaction when I woke up on the last day and knew I had completed Solo. When you feel alone, let your emotions out. Let them allow you to get creative and come to peace with yourself. Out there in the woods, alone, for four days, I learned that I am never truly alone, and I will be okay! I have friends, family, and loved ones that are all there for me, and so do you! You are never alone! I promise you. Everyone here at Dudley, with our shared experiences and values, is a supporter of you. My message to you is whether you are at Camp, or when you go back home, remember that you are not alone! There are so many people who are there to support you, and I challenge you to be that person for someone else. That is what “putting The Other Fellow First” really is. To close, in the exact words from my OB journal, “as the last hour of sunlight descends of Solo, I have realized that no matter the situation you are put into, you can still thrive and be happy.” - #26995

Thur sday, J uly 1 1 , 20 24 Good morning Camp Dudley, my name is Sam Harris, and I’m one of the co-Leaders in MacIntyre Cabin. As many of you know, I am a musician, and nearly a year ago, just days after arriving at Tulane University in New Orleans for my Freshman year, a new chapter of my life as a musician would begin. My jazz professor, who I had just met, invited me to one of his concerts. It was a twenty minute drive from uptown New Orleans, where Tulane is, to the French Quarter, a drive I would become quite familiar with by the end of the year. This was, however, the first time I went into town to see music, carpooling with professional musicians, twice my age, that I had never met, AND my professor told me to bring my guitar, just in case. Needless to say, the ride was a little awkward. In my mind, I had little to offer these adults, whose world I was just thrown into. As I asked for their advice, however, they were happy to provide necessary insights about life as a professional musician. As we got to the gig, I entered the lobby of a beautiful hotel, with classic French architecture, and a drum kit and mics set up, ready for my professor and his band. They begin, and the music is unlike anything I’ve ever heard before. Only those of you who have been there will understand how amazing the mix of Jazz, Funk, Blues, and R&B is that makes up New Orleans music. I was listening closely and deeply, eyes closed, head in the clouds, enjoying the music. That’s when my professor taps me on my shoulder, snapping me out of my blissful state. “You should play on this one,” he said as the band was just starting their next song. It was a Blues, which I was able to play over, but I was very reluctant to go up in front of a crowd of strangers and play with some of the best musicians in the world. Despite my mind and body telling me not to play, and the immense anxiety I felt about going on stage, I forced myself up there and, well, had a relatively underwhelming performance. I didn’t ruin the song or anything, but after, I felt like I had ruined my first impression with all of the amazing people I had just met.

I went home by myself, obsessing over what I had done wrong and how I would never go back to that gig. I even called my parents and told them that music might not be for me. Luckily, I didn’t stop playing. I used that experience, and the embarrassment it brought, to fuel my motivation to practice and improve, and just a week later, I was back, playing on the same Blues I did the previous week. I was still nervous, it was still an underwhelming performance, but I did it, and I improved. Throughout the year, I would go to that same gig every week, playing and continuously improving as I went, despite the discomfort. Achievement and improvement only come through difficult trials that may seem impossible or unthinkable at the time. Each trial seems more and more impossible until you think you can’t go any farther; it’s too hard. That’s exactly when you need to push the hardest. The success of simply going on stage that first night set me up for a year of difficult challenges and improvement, yet had I listened to my fears and chose not to play, I may have never reached the level that I am now. So when that next challenge shows up at the climbing wall, during a soccer game, or on stage in a Saturday Night Show, don’t back down. Face it, and you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve.

Satur day, J uly 1 3 , 20 24 Good morning Camp Dudley. For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Teddy Kavanagh, and I am one of the Leaders in Huron Cabin this summer. Back in June, as I was beginning to pack for Camp, I found an object that stood out to me while I was rifling through my trunk. Hidden deep underneath some hangers, there was a paper plate that read, “Silent but Deadly,” next to my name — right in the center — it brought back memories from these past summers and allowed me to recall my journey of finding my voice and gaining confidence. To explain the significance of this plate, let me take you back to last summer. At the end of the session, each leader received one of these paper plate awards that signified something funny or unique about him. The title, “Silent but Deadly,” is especially funny for me. As a camper, and still as a Leader, I’ve never been someone who talks a lot in large groups, runs loudly around Beckman during cheers, or even particularly enjoys doing these things. The award is fitting. When I rediscovered this plate, however, I not only remembered how funny the phrase was, but I also felt ashamed. “Why couldn’t I be loud like everyone else?” I thought. Was it because I had always been too intimidated by the rowdiness of Camp life? Was it because I had a problem speaking up for myself? As I struggled with thoughts like these, it made me feel inferior to many others around me. But, at the end of last summer, I felt the resolve to change this mindset. Go a month forward my Freshman year of college this past fall. One of the courses I was taking was titled “Introduction to Global Politics,” and it explored topics such as the causes of war, the state of the world today, and the role of presidents and world leaders in major crises. As it was lecture based, the class gave me the chance to share opinions on many of these issues. I had spent the past few fears developing an interest in politics, so it was easy to invest myself in the subjects. So, I thought that I would be one of the main participants in the class. At the beginning of the term, however, this was not the case. As I felt that the other 30 kids in my section knew so much more than I did, I was subdued by the same thoughts of inferiority. While I did the reading, I still found the subject matter difficult and controversial, so I hesitated to speak up in class and, thus, remained silent for fear of losing my train of thought, saying something incorrect, and getting ridiculed. But, this all began to change when I began to focus on reading more news. The routine started with help from the New York Times’ daily morning overview, which appeared in my inbox at 6am each day. In time, I found the parallels between what I was reading in class and what I was reading on my own, and I gained enough courage to start speaking up. One class, in particular, cemented a sense of confidence in me and made

me more determined to raise my voice going forward. On this day, a classmate who had constantly been raising her hand, more so to win the admiration of the professor and the rest of the class, was stumped at the follow-up question the professor posed to her and all of us. It dealt with a defense treaty that the U.S. was making with Saudi Arabia, and he asked us if any of us knew the terms of the agreement. Hours before, I had read an article explaining that the treaty resembled ones that the U.S. had made with Japan and South Korea. Here, both countries would pledge their support for each other if either were attacked. So, after taking a moment to recall this, I listened as she finished answering his first question and paused at this next one. Without thinking, I took my shot, using my memory to explain what I had learned from the article. Now, I could finally say that I was no longer silent; but most of all, I could finally say that I had found my voice in this new, unfamiliar class setting. Looking back at my last few summers at Dudley, I now realize that finding your voice in this beautiful yet strange place can be a challenge. Our culture is often dominated by the intensity of cheers in Beckman and Witherbee, and being quiet in the moments when you’re expected to be loud is unheard of. But within all the ruckus, everyone has their own story; everyone has their own voice to share. And most of all, it comes by finding your passions, and discovering what makes you stand out. Ultimately, that’s what makes this place so special. Nowhere else in the world can you wow the crowd with a song or performance in the Wednesday and Saturday Night Shows, with a reading at Chapel on Sunday, or even with just a few simple words of kindness to someone who may be struggling. So, going into this final week, I encourage you all to reflect on those different ways you have made your voice heard. Think about how you will continue to do it, and how you can inspire others in your cabin, on your team — everyone on campus — to do the same. While you may feel overpowered by the noise, remember that even within the silent part of you, there’s always the deadly one too. Find the deadly. - #25221

Satur day, J uly 20, 20 24 I don’t know how to manage my expectations. All of the hikes I’ve been on as Leadership, I try to keep my campers’ expectations low, I tell them we’re 4 miles away, when in fact we’re 3, so that when we get there 20 minutes before they expect us to, they’re pleasantly surprised. But, when it comes to my own expectations, I always keep them too high. Coming out of Junior year of high school, I couldn’t wait for the summer. I had a pretty rough year academically, and the only thing that kept me going throughout the spring was looking forward to that time off with my friends. But, when the last day of school came around, I was just disappointed to see the seniors celebrate their graduation, while I still had another year of high school. I had been looking forward to the summer for so long that my expectations could never have been met. I had a good summer, but it felt like a let down, at least until I got to Dudley. Going into college was a similar experience. I had been looking forward to college since the moment I first stepped onto a college campus, when my older brother was visiting schools in 2014. I had been looking forward to college before even going to Camp. So naturally my expectations were a little high. My first week at school was actually a hike with other first year students, called an orientation trip, which also set the bar high for the college experience. After coming off a great summer at Dudley, with an amazing hike, shout out JBL to ADK, I had another great experience in the woods climbing Mount Katahdin with a new group of friends. This didn’t help with my expectations for the rest of the year. My first few weeks back on campus were definitely fun, but they were filled with too many hours of free time, which I spent missing home, calling my friends from high school, and wishing I had gone to school closer to my parents. If I had simply managed my expectations going into college, I might not have been disappointed with what I got, and

I probably wouldn’t have been as homesick (yes, Leaders can be homesick too). More importantly, if I hadn’t spent all of high school looking forward to the next summer or to finally make it to college, I may have enjoyed myself a little more. Instead of focusing on my high school experience, and cherishing times with my friends and family, I was focused on what was coming up soon, whether it was Camp that summer or finally graduating and going to college. I encourage you to do the opposite. We have 5 days left at Camp this session, and as much as some of you are ready to go home and see your family after 3 long weeks, I encourage you to cherish your last few days here and avoid getting caught up with looking forward to what’s to come. - #24307

Thur sday, J uly 25 , 20 24 Good morning, my name is Quinn Plumb, I am the Leader in Danielson cabin, and I can say with full confidence that I am the luckiest guy in this room. I say this because in three and a half short weeks, you all are going to go home, and maybe see one another a few times over the course of the school year, but I get to wake up every day, while at college, and see my best friend, Will Burke. Will and I have shared many memories at college, from the time that I woke up at 4am to him shoving fruit snacks in my mouth because I was too tired to wake up when my alarm was going off for low blood sugar, to blasting “Brazil” by Declan McKenna every time our dorm’s fire alarm went off because we were too lazy to to walk outside on a cold winters night. During all of these shenanigans, we created a bond that was so tight that I can’t imagine ever spending more than a few days away from him. I do not consider Will and myself to be the most similar people in the world, but our differences complement each other perfectly. Despite all of these differences, I have never felt that I had any jealousy towards him in any way, except one. This one thing is that Will Burke can “sob-cry” like no one else that I have ever met. I envy this trait because, for the longest time, I was like him. Every opening day of my camper career, I would have an ugly meltdown about my anxiety for the summer ahead. I hated starting off my relationship with my new cabin mates by streaming tears out of my eyes, but I couldn’t help myself. I was so embarrassed my senior year that I vowed to never cry again. Whenever I was in a moment where I felt tears coming on, I would completely shut it down, keeping those emotions in for fear of being judged by others. This worked for a while, and I never felt as though people were looking at me differently because I was having an emotional moment, but I didn’t know the damage that I was doing to myself. I am now at a point in my life where I genuinely cannot remember the last time that I cried. Often, when having sentimental moments with friends, for instance saying goodbye for extended periods of time, I feel the need to explain that, no I don’t not care for them, I simply just do not have the emotional strength or intelligence to be able to be brought to tears. I believe that there is nothing more special than sharing a good cry with a friend, but I am not able to experience that. I began working on this earlier this spring, when I received a phone call from my parents where they explained that my 15-year-old dog, whom I had loved more than anyone in the world, had passed away. I always imagined that I would be able to break my drought of tears in this moment, or something similar, but it never came. After a brief conversation, I

hung up the phone and just sat there for a moment. I didn’t think about all of the great memories that I had made over the years with Baily, but I was instead angry with myself for having such a small emotional reaction to this tragic news. I knew that something needed to change. There are a lot of societal pressures on everybody in this room to conform to, or fit a mold, and as an early teenager, I let those pressures get to me. To this day, they are still affecting me in a major way. I don’t want anyone else to have to deal with the same experience that I have, and it’s on all of us to make that happen. We have 300 campers waiting to have the best summer of their lives, and at the end of it all, crying should be an expectation. I want to hear a chorus of sobs on the final night, because we did such an amazing job giving these kids an unforgettable experience, they are not ready to go home and say goodbye. We have just under an hour until the first camper arrives at Camp, and we need to lock in to make sure that this happens. I cannot wait to hug Will Burke after the last Hymn Sing, surrounded by all of the people that we are going to miss, and hopefully, we will both be crying in one another’s arms. Dudley is a place where you never truly know when it is going to be your last summer, so you need to pretend that every year, it is. I love this place, and I love sharing it with Will, and I wish that more people would be able to be so emotionally moved by it like he is.

Satur day, J uly 27, 20 24 Good morning everyone, for those of you who do not know me, my name is Ryan Barry, and I am the Leader in Cornell lodge this summer. Something that many of you do not know about me is that I just spent the past school year studying abroad at Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. Yes, that has become my entire personality, and no, this probably will not be the last time you hear me talk about it. It was one of the most exciting and rewarding experiences of my life, and it gave me the opportunity to travel, meet new people, and interact with different cultures. It was awesome! That is not to say, however, that it was smooth sailing for the entirety of my time in Ireland.

I was trying to do everything, all by myself, even though I had countless resources at my disposal, and I got overwhelmed. Going into the school year, I had the mindset that I was ready to take on the world and fend entirely for myself; I did not need While being alone or in a different country were anyone else’s help.

Satur day, Augus t 3 , 20 24 What’s up Camp Dudley? My name is Zane, and I’m a weird guy. A few facts to support this statement: I listen to sad music when I’m happy, my biggest passion is cross country skiing (yes, that sport that combines all the boring parts of regular skiing), and yes, I also play the fiddle. At home, my favorite times are when I can let loose and be fully weird with other people, whether it’s my family or my friends. In these moments, I feel lighter and happier and kind of like that cartoon spring sound, you know, BOINGGGGGG. From the very first day I stepped on the Dudley campus as a Cub, I knew that this was the kind of place where weirdness is cultivated and celebrated. For a while, however, it was hard for me to uncover that part of myself here. I remember thinking, for many years, that my weirdness wouldn’t be normal here. That’s a very backwards sentence, I know, but that’s how I felt, and how I imagine some of you feel. I remember watching Paul Licursi dropping from the Witherbee ceiling, during Leaders Serial, and feeling that same awesome, weird energy inside

myself, but I was too scared to let it out. I ended up bottling up my weirdness at Camp and trying desperately not to let any of it escape, because I was afraid of being looked at differently. Because of this weirdness insecurity, I wasn’t able to fully open up to the magic of Camp and to all of the people around me. Even though these feelings still linger, and I definitely still take myself too seriously sometimes, over the past few summers at Dudley, I have been learning to let the weirdness out, and I feel way better. Every time I watch Non-Sequitur, or hear, “LIFEGUARDS, FIVE ASSORTED FLAVORS,” I am reminded that here at Camp Dudley, we LOVE weirdness. So, to everyone here, let your weirdness out. Trust me, it will come out eventually. That’s just the Dudley way. But, the sooner, the better for you, and everyone around you. You will have more fun, become more confident, and love life even more that you already do. Camp Dudley, let’s get weird.

Thur sday, Augus t 8, 20 24 Good morning, Camp Dudley, what a day. I hope you all slept well and are ready to embrace what is now the last week and a half of Camp. My name is Eli Herzog, and I am a Leader in Clark Cabin this summer. This morning, I want to share something that I have been reflecting on throughout my time here at Camp. Taking. Life. Less. Seriously. I’ll start by giving you some background. Dudley is a place that really stresses me out. Now, you might wonder why that’s the case, considering this is a summer camp, a place literally designed for fun. But that’s not really the point. Something about being here, at Dudley, just finds a way to bring stress into my life.

our responsibilities or throw caution to the wind. Instead, we have the opportunity to adopt a lighter perspective on everyday stresses. In my experience, and throughout the summer, I have found that these little stresses really aren’t that important. And when you look back, they won’t really matter.

There are these little stresses that I experience at Camp that I am sure many of you can relate to in your own lives. Some of these include trying to fit in with my peers, wanting everything to be perfect, trying to find time to do everything I want, wanting to have the perfect Chapel Talk, and all while juggling various relationships, each with its own set of expectations. Also, I’m not sure if you have noticed, but Dudley is a place filled with many very large personalities. There’s a lot going on here. Petey OB, Aicher, Carmody, and Mr. McClearn, just to name a few.

Think back to last week, to some little problem that you just couldn’t stop thinking about. Really think. Does it seem like a big deal now? I would guess not. Now, I am not saying all of you take Dudley so seriously. Actually, I wouldn’t say that at all. But, I am saying, you might have your version of my Dudley. Somewhere or something that you love, enjoy, and care about wholeheartedly, but at the same time, stresses you out. This could be a sports team, school, a friend group, a job.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting we ignore

- #24282

I recall the stress of wanting to get good grades, make that sports team, be part of that friend group, This resulted in me feeling a pressure to live up to or ask out that girl that I liked. Whatever your place these characters. This pressure transformed into, or thing is that you get stressed about, I encouryep, you guessed it, stress. These little stresses, age you to take it a little less seriously. Be yourself; being so present throughout the summer, have embrace those slight imperfections that stress you made it hard to fully enjoy my time here. I found out. Things won’t always be easy or work perfectly, myself not appreciating all of the great memories but that’s just life. being made and the many rich aspects of Dudley. As I became aware of this stress, I asked myself Life is too short to be weighted down by stress and what changes I could make to improve my experi- seriousness. Let loose a little bit; don’t take it too ence. What I came up with was: Don’t take life too seriously. I bet you’ll find yourself a little bit happier seriously and just be yourself. and enjoying things that you love a bit more.

Fr iday, Aug us t 1 6 , 20 24 Good morning everybody, my name is Angelo Taranto, and I am lucky enough to be leading Lower Suter cabin with Matthew Russell this summer. I’ve been coming back to Camp for a while now. I was a Cub in Rensselaer eleven years ago, and there are really no words I can use to describe my time here at Dudley. Instead, I like to think about the little things. I like to appreciate the little moments that make me feel so lucky to be in Westport, New York. At the end of last summer, a couple of other leaders and I decided to sleep out on Suter Point on the last night after all of the campers had gone home. We brought a few mattresses out onto the rock and spent the last night right next to each other. There was another group of Leaders over at Swim Point playing a Hymn Sing recording on a big speaker, and as the sun came up the next morning, I heard the Final Five being sung by everyone who was in The Hall that night. The Lake Champlain sunrise, Hymn Sing, gave us a preview of what movie was while hearing the Final Five, as I was waking up, going to be shown in The Hall that week. These was a pretty surreal moment. little moments helped form my Camp experience, but there are so many little moments out there that It was a little moment that made me tear up be- can shape your own experience. cause I knew how special it was.

Sunday, Aug us t 1 8, 20 24 Good morning. My name is Eddie Elliott, I am — or rather, I was — a co-Leader in Linwood Cabin this session, and it is finally starting to hit me that Camp is over. I’m still not sure I fully believe I’m going home soon. For the past fifty-some days, it has been my distinct privilege to work, probably, the best job I will ever work, at one of the best places in the world, with a group of people who are among the best I have ever met. And it has gone by in a blur. This is it. There’s really just hours left of Camp. In this Chapel Talk, I’m going to ask you to do a bit of reflecting. First, think about something you will take away from this summer. How have you been changed by your experience at Dudley? For me, this summer was one of firsts. Despite it being my sixth year at Camp, I participated in my first Saturday Night Show, my first Wednesday Night Show skit, my first Choice Time at the Golf Range, and I sailed a Hobie Cat for the first time. I experienced my first “second half” at Camp, and all that that entails — first Mellowest, first Final Council Ring, first Dudley Olympics, and the first August that I have ever spent at Camp. I hope many of you got the same chance that I did to push your boundaries, because Camp is easily one of the best places to do so. But really, the main takeaway that I have for you is that, in many ways, the quality of your life will be determined by who you surround yourself with. In everything

158

I tried for the first time, I was supported by a smiling friend, staff member, or camper. I would never have — could never have — done them otherwise. This was my sixth summer at Camp, and thanks to my friends, it’s the first one where I am leaving feeling like I have accomplished just about everything that I wanted to do.

Th e O t her F el low F irs t

Week Eight Next, I would like you to briefly think about the present moment. Look around you. This is the last time that this group of people will be together. You will never be on the same team again. You will never again be with this same cabin. You have only a few hours left on campus, and the saddest part is that some of you may never be back. Maybe this is as hard for you as it is for me; I hate endings. I have left books unfinished because I can tell a character I am attached to is going to die. I really struggle to tell the important people in my life how much they matter to me, because I struggle to accept that I may never see them again. On the other hand, I often fail to savor things I really like, and rush through them without looking around me until they’re long done, and I’m looking back. Camp, for me, has been a mix of all of these things. Both ways of handling endings are easy, but neither offers much in the way of closure. I can’t control what you do outside of this talk, but take the next few seconds and look around again. Try to savor this moment. Think about those around you, and treat today like the ending it is. Later today, tell the people who matter to you that they do. Really say goodbye, and make plans to keep in touch. Thank the people who made your summer great. Take a deep breath in, hold it, breath out. Finally, try to think about what it will mean to be outside of Camp, and looking back on your time here. Think about what a unique space Camp occupies. It’s the only place you can really get away from the constant pressures of the outside world, especially, and increasingly, the grip that technology holds on us. It’s a true privilege to spend a summer here. Some eighty or so years ago, Dudley looked very different in the midst of World War II. Many would-be Leaders served

in the armed forces, fighting overseas, instead of leading a cabin of boys. The Dudley Archives hold a pamphlet which compiles excerpts from letters written to Camp by those men. I’d like to close with a brief paragraph that is a powerful representation of what Camp means, and it helps to explain why so many of us keep coming back. This letter was written by a man who, in the midst of war, turned back to Camp. I think that it could easily have been written about Camp today. “There is an outlook on life which pierces through the gloom like a shaft of sunlight. It is what I like to call the Dudley outlook, because I can think of no other name. It is the sort of feeling you get during a ballgame on the big diamond, while taking a cool dip in the lake, or running through a rehearsal in Witherbee. It is the joy of doing something with others. This feeling comes partly from good health, partly from companionship, and partly from the fun of activity itself. But chiefly, it springs from a very contagious spirit, which I have found at Dudley and very few other places. It is the spirit of radiant good cheer, which appears to permeate everyone from Chief down to the minutest Cub. If we can have this in our post-war world, we’ll have a world worth living in. It seems to me that the most vital function Camp Dudley has to perform is to foster this miraculous rare spirit, to nourish it and promote it, to see that it never dies.” Wherever life takes you, bring the Dudley spirit with you.

Selected by the Head of Witherbee - #18079 Diana McGuigan-George It was a particularly special summer in Witherbee Hall, as we celebrated our 100th Season! We’re not sure how many productions have been hosted in Witherbee Hall over the 100 seasons, but we know that Witherbee Hall has introduced generations of young people to the theatre and nurtured countless Dudley community members, as they explored their acting and musical talents and shared them with our camp. How fortunate all of us have been to be a part of carrying on that legacy in the summer of 2024! What a special way to ring in the Hall’s 100th Anniversary. This summer, we had so many wonderful additions to Witherbee Hall’s history. From Wednesday Night Shows to Saturday Night Shows, from Hymn Sings, Slideshows, and Olympics coverage to musical performances and magic acts. We proved that there is much talent to draw from at Camp Dudley. Each summer, however, we highlight a few exceptional contributions to the Witherbee stage by selecting a winner of the Tiger Lily Award. This award goes to a person or group that stood out with their summer participation. But before we get to our winner, here are some of our nominees… At the start of the summer, we were treated to a dynamic acting duo of Will Churchill and Zane Sylvester with their hilarious performances in Babel. When we hosted two short plays the following week, Teddy Kavanagh delivered an equally funny performance as the casting director in Bad Auditions by Bad Actors. JW Glynn delighted us with the surprise ending of A Boy and his Kwabelpot, with a standout performance from Matt Sullivan, who was also impressive as the manager of Santa’s Workshop in Elf. In Week 3, we were treated to the theatrical spectacle of Alice in Wonderland, which included some memorable performances. Ron Drori-Lipin as one of the Alices and a rare appearance of puppets, one of which was created and voiced by Adam “Punchy” Puncochar. In the second session, Dillon Weibel shined as the dad and head of the police department in our stage version of Super 8. We also saw terrific performances from two actors in Elf: Evan Lukacs, as the president of the publishing company who tries to ruin Christmas for his employees, and Willem Thomas, as Buddy’s half-brother.

Will Napper and Peter McClearn Will and Peter have shown tremendous dedication to Witherbee Hall this summer and throughout their camp careers. This summer, Will contributed to every production in Witherbee Hall, either on stage (or in front of a camera) or behind the scenes as our lighting director. In addition, he directed a production and helped to run the Wednesday Night Shows. All of us who enjoyed seeing it will never forget his unforgettable performance in 12 Angry Men at the start of the 2nd Session. Peter wrote and directed A Boy and His Kwabelpot with Ethan Carmody. He also starred in and delivered an indelible performance as Buddy in Elf. His natural stage presence and sincerity showed through in his role, and he helped end our 100th season in the best way possible. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Witherbee Hall this summer. Whether on Saturday or Wednesday, whether on stage or in the audience, everyone contributed to the magic of this extraordinary building. We hope you enjoyed the shows!

And now on to the winner, and this year we have two!
