We are deeply saddened by the loss of Madaline Pratt, age 88, who went home to be with our Lord on Thursday July 22, 2010. Madaline was the wife of our past director Edwin B. Pratt (from 1946-1968) and mother of Carol Pratt-Zimmerman, long-time Member and volunteer at Camp.

Carol Pratt Zimmerman

It is with regret that we announce the resignation of Carol Pratt Zimmerman. A familiar face at camp, she has made many contributions over the years. Carol's father, Edwin Pratt, was the director at camp from the 1940’s through the 1960’s. Carol spent her summers at William Lawrence Camp as a child and has remained a part of the camp family for most of her life. She returned to the Knoll in the late 90’s to spend her summers at camp as a volunteer and has been a member of the Board of Trustees and most recently a Member of the Corporation. Carol has been a familiar face greeting families upon their arrival at camp and has been a help in ways both large and small. We had hoped that Carol would continue her relationship with camp and were disappointed to receive the following correspondence on April 14:


To:          Mr. Charles Cleary
                President, William Lawrence Camp

Dear Charlie,

Effective immediately, I am resigning as a Member of the William Lawrence Camp Corporation.

My thanks to all the Trustees, present and past, for giving me so many years of happiness on the knoll. I know all of you will continue to take very special care of William Lawrence Camp as the 98th Season begins and you plan for the next 100 years.

I have many wonderful, happy memories! The William Lawrence Camp Spirit will always be in my heart!

With Sincere Respect,

Carol Pratt Zimmerman

Dear Nat,

Effective immediately, I am resigning from the William Lawrence Camp Staff.

I wish you, the campers and staff a very successful 98th season on the knoll!

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of the camp program for so many years. The camp,

you and your family will always have a very special place in my heart.

Best Regards,

Carol Pratt Zimmerman


People, whether they have been at camp for a long period of time or have had a relatively short tenure, are what sustain William Lawrence Camp. As we recognize Carol’s service to camp, we hope that alumni, families and friends will likewise support us in assuring the continued success of camp.

Charles Cleary, President
On behalf of the WLC Board of Trustees

 "For Lawrence We Stand, It Is The Best Camp In The Land!"
