The Words of 2018 LIT, Miles Renney

Miles helping to lifeguard at the waterfront

Nature at Camp


This was my sixth year attending William Lawrence Camp and as I packed I thought of the reasons for why I was returning. I recall the memories I have made as well as the friendships I have created. I think back to the skills I have learned and the fun that I have had. As I think of my past experiences at camp I could not help but remember the scenery and the nature that camp possesses. I have numerous memories of wildlife at camp along with the spectacular views which you see almost every day. The wildlife at camp made every day unique, you never know what you are going to see. At camp you see chipmunks, squirrels, frogs, deer, and sometimes even a porcupine. I also remember taking wilderness skills and learning about the abundance of plant life at camp. Because of camp I can tell the difference between a white pine and a red pine and my knowledge of nature has grown immensely.

The Words of 2018 LIT, Jin Purdy

A Description of William Lawrence
William Lawrence Camp is a great camp. Good food, the serenity of nature and having a waterfront makes this camp a great place for boys all over the world. Even if this place is only open in the summer, the spirit of this 105-year-old camp keeps calling back campers to spend the summer here. The staff here are also international; from the U.S. and Europe, to Africa and Australia. This camp accepts all cultures and races. At the waterfront, which happens to be Lower Beach Pond, campers have multiple activities available to them; sailing, canoeing, fishing (both regular and fly), tubing (for Juniors and Middlers) and water skiing. Here, you can also get American Red Cross Swimming Level certifications, from level two to six.
