Michael Bartlett and Michael Taranto are long-time South Florida residents and Dudley alumni. We are volunteers and enthusiastic supporters of Camp Dudley and Camp Dudley at Kiniya because of our personal experiences as campers, Leaders, and parents of Dudley campers. We are honored that Dudley has asked us to host a Reunion here in South Florida, and we look forward to having you join us. Dudley is different from many summer camps in that it is a non-profit YMCA affiliate, and as such can rely on alumni and friends for support.

Dudley is a life-long association. There are few feelings better than watching your son do better than you at camp, and the perspective gained through the years increases the respect we feel for those who have committed their careers to keeping the traditions and the facility in the shape they are in today.

Hosting a reunion is a one day deal- but Andy, Davo, JR, and John Storey, to name just a few, give their all every day so that our sons, and now our daughters, can share the Dudley experience. And, parents, one of the real benefits to us is going to visit. Westport, and the Adirondacks, are in the summertime the perfect retreat from South Florida's heat and humidity. The mountains and lakes call us back over the years, and decades, and when we watch the new generations sing their hearts out in Witherbee, give their all on the fields, and struggle up the same mountains we did as campers we know that the sense of accomplishment and character that they are developing remain a tribute to "the other fellow first."
