Packing List

Click "VIEW" to see our suggested packing list for the weekend. Reminder: The cabins are rustic and charming. Most include a working fireplace, deck, and dorm style bunks. The cabin beds are on the smallish side so feel free to bring an air mattress and customize the space if you are a taller individual or simply prefer one. For those staying on campus, we suggest a donation of $50 per person (for the weekend) to the Camp Dudley Annual Fund. To learn more and make a donation, please visit https://www.campdudley.org/bl-support-our-annual-fund/

Travel Note

Traveling to Dudley

By Car: Despite being quite far north, Camp Dudley and Westport are roughly 3-5 hours from most everyone in attendance. As is the case through much of the Adirondacks, gas stations, food and rest stops are limited so fill your tanks and empty your tanks where you can. Expect limited cell reception as you pass through the mountains. From the north, south, or west: Take I 87 (the Northway) that is the main route between Albany and Montreal to exit 31. At the exit, go (east) to Westport on Route 9N. Go through town on Route 9N/22 South. 1.5 miles after leaving the Village of Westport, you will see the Dudley Rd. on the left, with a sign that points to Camp Dudley. Follow this road until you see the Camp. From Vermont, cross Lake Champlain by the ferry at Charlotte, go south on Rt. 22 to Westport, then follow directions above; or use the bridge at Crown Point, NY, and take Rt. 22 & 9N north. About 9 miles past Port Henry you will see a sign for Camp Dudley pointing to the right. Follow this road to Camp Dudley. 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. This is a great opportunity for a group to travel together. By Plane: The nearest airports are Plattsburgh (40 min), Burlington (1h 20min), Albany (2hr). Burlington and Albany Airports are served by many airlines, including USAir, Continental, and United. From here we recommend renting a vehicle for the last portion of the trip.
