Camp Dunnabeck at Kildonan

Camp Dunnabeck was founded by Diana Hanbury King, who spent many years teaching at the Sidwell Friends School in Washington D.C., and then at Camp Mansfield in Vermont. Both Sidwell Friends and Camp Mansfield offered superior programs for students with dyslexia.

Diana King's passion for teaching students with dyslexia inspired her to found Camp Dunnabeck. Dunnabeck soon became hugely successful and led to the founding of the Kildonan School, where Camp Dunnabeck currently resides.

Dunnabeck is the oldest residential program of its kind - founded specifically to help intelligent children with dyslexia or language based learning differences achieve academic success. The camp's unique blend of language remediation through daily Orton-Gillingham one-to-one tutoring and confidence-building recreational activities make Dunnabeck the world's premier academic summer camp for students with dyslexia.
