Adirondack Explorer: Special Discount Available to the Dudley & Kiniya Family
In December, #8276 Charlie Updike introduced our Camps to Tracy Ormsbee, the publisher of Adirondack Explorer. Tracy and Charlie visited Camp and had a socially distant tour with Matt Storey and Dave Langston. Tracy was pleased to see the Dudley physical plant after hearing about it for so many years from Charlie. As a result of this relationship, we hope that the Adirondack Explorer will help us tell the story of Camp Dudley and Camp Kiniya’s work with our campers.
