Kirby Fund

The Dave Kirby Adventure Fund is designed to encourage Dartmouth student members of the Ledyard Canoe Club to dream up and take part in a wide variety of outdoor adventures which, whether students realize it or not, can teach principles vital to their life's fulfillment, to their relations with others and with the natural world around them — teamwork, planning, carrying out responsibilities, and adjusting to the whims of nature.

Applications

The Kirby Fund is open to any undergraduate student member of the Ledyard Canoe Club.
