| Anthony helping WLC celebrate Camp Kindness Day |
I have attended William Lawrence camp for 6 years and have
experienced all the activities it has to offer. Going from a suburban
neighborhood to camp opened many doors to opportunities I would've never had
back home.
Two of these activities are riflery
and archery, some very different sports compared to the norm. They require
intense focus and patience in order to get the right shot. They take a lot of
practice but are very rewarding and build discipline. On the other hand, ping
pong is a fast paced activity which relies on ones reflexes and technique to
propel them to victory. Once one picks up a paddle, it is very hard to put
down. Almost every camper lines up outside the ping pong tables before meals at
the dining hall just to get a chance to play. My personal favorite is challenge
course. Everyone attempted to climb a tree as a kid, but usually didn't get
very far. At challenge course, you can put these past thoughts to rest with the
climbing tower and high ropes courses. At the tower, there are many routes to
ascend, all varying in obstacles and difficulty. The high ropes courses also
portray may different challenges, and require using ones balance in order to
stay high among the trees. Water skiing and sailing are extremely fun, especially
if you have never done water sports before. It is exhilarating for the boat to
whip you around the lake as you water ski, although it is very challenging at
first. However, it is one of the most rewarding activities at camp. Sailing is
also hard at first, but is great fun and can be very relaxing or exciting
depending on how you approach it.William Lawrence has many activities that aren't available in our day to day lives, and keeps many. like myself, returning to camp for years.
