Mission and programs · 2025

• CAMP DUDLEY, INC. IS A 501(C)(3) NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, COMMITTED TO PROVIDING A COMPREHENSIVE PROGRAM FOR BOYS AND GIRLS INCLUDING ATHLETICS, THE ARTS, OUTDOOR ADVENTURE, AND SPIRITUAL TRADITIONS. LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT IS A DYNAMIC AND INTEGRAL PART OF THE CAMP EXPERIENCE. THE CAMP'S MOTTO, "THE OTHER FELLOW FIRST," IS THE GUIDING LIGHT FOR DAILY LIFE, AND IT IS THE AIM OF EACH CAMPER WHO ATTENDS DUDLEY TO GAIN APPRECIATION FOR THE IMPACT THEY CAN MAKE ON THE LIVES OF OTHERS. WHILE DUDLEY'S HERITAGE IS CHRISTIAN, WE WELCOME BOYS AND GIRLS OF ALL FAITHS INTO OUR COMMUNITY. IT IS THE DIVERSITY OF DUDLEY'S CAMPER BODY THAT FOSTERS AN APPRECIATION OF DIFFERENCE. CAMP DUDLEY'S GERMAN AND SPAIN EXCHANGE PROGRAMS HELP FOSTER INTERNATIONAL UNDERSTANDING AND COOPERATION WITH BOYS AND GIRLS WHO PARTICIPATE. DUDLEY HAS REMAINED TRUE TO ITS ORIGINAL MISSION: 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. CAMP DUDLEY, INC. OPERATES TWO CAMPS, CAMP DUDLEY FOR BOYS AND CAMP DUDLEY AT KINIYA FOR GIRLS. THE ORGANIZATION IS GOVERNED BY A BOARD OF TRUSTEES THAT MEETS THREE TIMES PER YEAR. THE CAMP DIRECTORS REPORT TO THE BOARD AND,WITH THEIR STAFFS, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THEIR CAMPS. THROUGH THE DUDLEY KINIYA ALUMNI ASSOCIATION (DKAA), ALUMNI MAINTAIN CONTACT WITH THE ORGANIZATION, ATTEND BOTH PHYSICAL AND VIRTUAL OPEN HOUSES/REUNIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND OVERSEAS, AND ASSIST IN ANNUAL AND CAPITAL FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES. THE ORGANIZATION'S ANNUAL GIVING FUND TYPICALLY PROVIDES FULL AND PARTIAL SCHOLARSHIPS AND DISCOUNTS TO OVER 540 BOYS AND GIRLS ANNUALLY (APPROXIMATELY 60 PERCENT OF THE CAMPER POPULATION), TOTALING OVER $1.8M MILLION AND ASSURING THE DIVERSITY OF THE CAMPER BODY. CAMPERS (BOYS AND GIRLS) COME FROM 37 STATES AND 14 FOREIGN COUNTRIES. THE TOP 5 STATES THAT CAMPERS GATHER FROM ARE NEW YORK, CONNECTICUT, NEW JERSEY, MASSACHUSETTS, AND CALIFORNIA. BOTH CAMPS MAINTAIN A LEADER TO CAMPER RATIO OF 1:3. CAMP DUDLEY AND CAMP DUDLEY AT KINIYA SEEK TO INSTALL A SENSE OF DUTY AND HUMOR IN THEIR CAMPERS, AND TO HELP THEM TO LEARN TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES AND TO GAIN CONFIDENCE. FOUNDED BY SUMNER F.

  Expenses $6,802,175 · Grants $1,042,314 · Revenue $5,741,216

As filed on the 2025 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
