Exciting News from William Lawrence Camp: Meet Our New Interim-Director

The Board of Trustees is thrilled to announce that Kevin O’Neill has been appointed Interim Camp
Director for the upcoming camp season!

Kevin’s journey with William Lawrence Camp is nothing short of inspiring. For nearly 20 years, he has grown with us—starting out as a camper back in 2006, moving up to counselor, and ultimately being honored with induction into the prestigious Woodsman Honor Society. In 2025, Kevin returned as Assistant Director, bringing his energy, passion, and leadership back to the community he calls home.

ABOUT US

William Lawrence is an overnight summer camp for boys in New Hampshire. We offer a nature-based program filled with activities that allow our boys experiences they can’t find in school and help them to learn and grow as young men.

Every aspect of our day is built around our four cornerstones: Willingness, Loyalty, Comradeship and Sportsmanship. These cornerstones are lovingly dubbed William Lawrence Camp Spirit or WLCS.

There’s no better place to spend your summer.

My older son has been attending WLC since the summer he turned 10, 2017. He has the best time at camp and never wants to leave. He has gained so much independence and maturity during his summers at camp. This summer he is at camp as a “leader in training” while his 8yo brother is FINALLY old enough to join him at WLC. All those summers of dropping off his big brother and it’s finally his turn! To say he was excited is an understatement! Summer at WLC is incredible.

A FEW
IMPORTANT
VALUES

We’re a device-free environment

William Lawrence Camp is device-free in order to allow your son to engage in face-to-face conversations and build meaningful relationships with his peers, as well as explore new hobbies, develop outdoorsmen skills, and engage in unstructured play. 

We’re intentionally rustic

The lack of electricity in our cabins builds a sense of community, a sense of unity and shared experience among campers. Campers also learn problem-solving skills, adapt to different situations, and become more resourceful, which are valuable life skills.

We’re the right mix of fun and challenging

Among our diverse activity options, there are elements of adventure and exploration, such as archery, camping, and our ropes courses, which can be both fun and challenging, allowing campers to connect with the natural world and test their limits.
