Camp Dudley

The next year Dudley moved the site to Twin Islands, Lake Wawayanda, New Jersey.

Though non-denominational, the camp espouses "Christian values" in its teachings and programs, not least of which is its motto, "The Other Fellow First".

The mission is to develop moral, personal, physical and leadership skills in the spirit of fellowship and fun, enabling boys and girls to lead lives characterized by devotion to others.

For most campers, their relationship with Dudley does not end with the close of the camping season but continues throughout their lives.

All friends of Dudley are invited to attend the alumni gatherings, as well as the August CDA Reunion at Camp.

Between 35 and 40 alumni gatherings are held during the year throughout the country and around the world on the Dudley "Reunion Trail".

Camp Kiniya was founded in 1919 by Helen Van Buren and lies on the Vermont shores of Lake Champlain, in Colchester.

One can also be a program staff member at 18 and beyond, working in the Athletics, Arts, Outdoors, or Waterfront departments.

There is a chapel service on Sunday mornings with a guest speaker, with encouraging words for the following week.

All campers and staff members wear the camps' traditional blue and white colors to this service, however all are welcome regardless of attire.

On Sunday nights, the camps gather by cabin to sing Hymns in the grand old Witherbee hall.

"D-U-D-L-E-Y / Whitewashed cookies, chicken pie / Pink music, pickeral fry / Westport, Westport my oh my / All ye campers stand in line (line) / Take your hats off just like mine (mine) / Bevo, bivo, boom get a rat trap bigger than a cat trap, (slowly) bevo, bivo, BOOM!"
