Grab a chair, snuggle into your sleeping bag, sit next to your bestie, and join us for a nostalgic evening devoted to everyone’s favorite childhood destination—summer camps.

Camp leaders and former campers from some of the Adirondack’s most noteworthy summer camps will talk about how camp life (and campers!) have changed over the years and what it is about camp that speaks to the kid in all of us.

Come early for a special treat! At 6:00, join ADKX staff in the Art Lab to make the most camp-loved craft—the friendship bracelet.

Cap off the evening around the campfire with s’mores and live music. Andy Walkow on acoustic guitar and Tom Techman (vocals) will offer a lively, feel-good performance with a rich repertoire of hits from the 1950s to today. From the Everly Brothers to The Weeknd, everyone will want to sing along!

This program is free for all (donations welcome). Registration is recommended, but not required.

Miriam Kotsonis, Eagle Island Camp

Miriam Kotsonis spent a month at Eagle Island Camp (EIC) in 1968. While lots of things went wrong for her at first, she still loved the camp: the songs, hikes, woodland challenges, sailing, and water sports, and most of all, the kindness coupled with can-do toughness. All these experiences cultivated resilience and resourcefulness in ways that have helped her every day since then. Fast forward to 2012  when she decided to attend a group hike to “Save Eagle Island” and learned about the camp’s plight. Her joy at the successful purchase and subsequent work to reopen and perpetually renew the camp led her to volunteer to help write the history of EIC. It is her way of thanking Eagle Island for all the strength, and all the music, that it has given her. In 2025, she returned to Eagle Island Camp for the first time since 1968.

 

 

Dave Langston, Camp Dudley

Dave came to Dudley for the first time in 1967 and has known and worked with all six camp directors since then. More recently, he has been a member of the 2012 Dudley summer staff serving as the head of the Spiritual Program and challenge course manager in the outdoor program. On November 16th, 2012 Dudley Director Matt Storey announced the good news that Dave would become the Director of Development at Dudley. Dave comes to us most recently from Susquehanna Township School District where he has been an elementary school science teacher and advisor. Prior to that, he was the Executive Director of the Capital Region Chapter of the American Red Cross in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, where he managed all fundraising and Red Cross services for his region. Dave and his wife Lora #17855 currently reside in Westport, NY.
