Kiniya kicked off the Open House Trail in style with a festive Fallfest that brought together 50+ current campers, leaders, alumni, and friends at Mimi’s Lodge on October 11th.
With a blazing fire keeping us warm, we enjoyed hot apple cider, fresh cider donuts from Shelburne Orchards, and a chance to reconnect with the people and place we all hold dear.
We also shared our Open House video, giving everyone a glimpse of the magic of Kiniya & Dudley today.
But the highlight of the day? A truly special blast from the past! Kiniya pals Pete Nash and Bill Willey, who first met on staff at Kiniya in 1958, arrived together in Bill’s vintage car! What a wonderful reminder that the friendships formed at camp can truly last a lifetime.
There was plenty of laughter, storytelling, and reminiscing—and, most importantly, the joy of being back on campus together.
We hit the road Tuesday and can’t wait to see many of you in your hometowns!
