WHAT MAKES WLC DIFFERENT

For more than a century, WLC has centered its approach around four cornerstones: Willingness, Loyalty, Comradeship, and Sportsmanship. These values shape daily life at camp, from cabin living to waterfront traditions, and guide how boys learn to lead, support one another, and challenge themselves. In an intentionally unplugged environment, campers build confidence, independence, and friendships rooted in respect.

Testimonials

More Than a Summer. A Lasting Impact.

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.
