By Train:

Amtrak has a train that leaves Penn Station in New York City daily in the morning and, with no switching of trains, arrives at the Westport Train Station in the afternoon. If you tell us your son’s train schedule, we will pick him up at the train station. This is a great opportunity for a group to travel together.

By Plane to Burlington, Vermont and Albany, NY:

Burlington and Albany Airports are served by many airlines, including USAir, Continental, and United. Your son’s flight should be scheduled to arrive at one of these airports on the opening day for the Camp season, or the first day of the second session, depending on the session which your son is attending. We prefer that your son arrive before 3 PM. This will allow him to have his first meal and a full evening with his new cabin-mates and Leaders on his first day of Camp. There may be some cases when boys need to arrive later in the day. Please let the Office know (in advance) of any arrivals after 3:00 p.m.

Camp Dudley will arrange ground transportation from the Burlington or Albany Airports to Camp. You must let us know the time of arrival, airline and flight number.  Return Flight: Your son’s return flight must be on either the closing day of the first session or the closing day of the Camp season, depending on the session which your son is attending, and must be scheduled for 3 PM or later. Do not schedule a flight before 3 PM, since transportation to the airport cannot be arranged.

For All Boys Under the Age of 12 Traveling by Plane:

Most airlines consider boys under the age of 12 to be “an unaccompanied minor.” Check with your airline to ensure that all necessary paperwork is completed and in the child’s possession when he flies. He will need these papers on both his outbound and return flights. We cannot be responsible for this required paperwork…it can only be completed by parents or guardians.

If you are interested in coordinating group transportation for boys in your area either by public conveyance or by charter, contact the Camp Office. We can assist you by providing contact information for other campers in the vicinity. In your acceptance packet, we have provided postcards for you to use to notify us of how your son is arriving/departing. If you have any questions call the Camp Office at 518-962-4720. We want to make sure your son’s trip to Camp Dudley is smooth for him and for you.
