William Lawrence Camp

I find this camps on the web and I have a good feeling after talking with the director and the staff. Louis my son (11years) is french but speak english because he learn at school, he’s going alone for 2 weeks and after 1 week want to stay 2 weeks more!!! Great camps, good food, safe, a lot of things to do. He’s come back this year for 4 weeks with his little brother Edouard (9years).

William Lawrence Camp (WLC for short) is a fun, well rounded, and relaxed summer camp for boys. It’s a great environment to grow up in and I spent 6 summers there as both a camper and staff member.
WLC is a traditional summer camp. If you are looking for a camp for your son to become a soccer star, this isn’t it. If you want a place for him to go to make friends, explore the outdoors, and be active, WLC is perfect.
Each week campers signup for the morning classes of their choice. In the afternoons, they are given a «free swim» period when they can wander the camp and do whatever they want. From swimming to archery or rock climbing, there are dozens of options.
The staff is a mix of longtime staff, former campers, and international staff. The international staff are a constant source of vibrancy, introducing the boys to rugby, cricket, and other culture. Former campers are allowed to grow into responsibility as staff. Longtime staff like Nat Crane and Scott «Goose» Giessler keep the traditions alive.
This sums it up best: every time I’m in the area, I return to camp for a visit. When I do, I’m welcomed with open arms and a smile. It’s great to be among friends and family sharing fond memories– which is what WLC is all about.

This summer will be the 4^th year for our son, and he can’t wait to get back. WL Camp offers so many outdoor activities, camaraderie with counselors and new friends from all over the world, healthy meals, and a break from electronics. More than that, it has given him a strong sense of independence, confidence, and an appreciation for nature.
He has tried new things: archery, water skiing, woodworking, to name a few, that he will always remember.
We trust the staff, and particularly the director Nat Crane, and we have always felt that he was safe and happy there.
Very highly recommend this camp!

I have spent a total of 13 years at WLC split between being a camper and a staff member. Campers get to choose from a bunch of activities, cabin life is great, and good staff. It also gives your kid a chance to unplug as most electronics are not permitted.

Great camp! My son went here for 5 years. Loved it! Great activities — the kids can pick their schedule — daily «open» activitie too. Great leadership, good values — a super all-​around camp
They just had their 100 year anniversary —
