About Our Summer Camp Property
in New Hampshire

William Lawrence Camp offers its campers a world-class campus covering 250 acres in the Lakes Region of New Hampshire with a half mile of waterfront on pristine Lower Beech Pond. We have a spectacular bird’s-eye view of Lake Winnipesaukee and the surrounding mountains.

Cabins & Living Spaces

At our all-boys residential camp, our campers live in screened cabins separated into the Junior, Middler, and Senior Units. Campers are assigned to units based on their grade in school the following fall. Campers entering 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th grade are part of our boys’ Junior Unit. Boys entering 7th or 8th grade are campers in our Middler Unit. Our Senior campers are boys entering 9th and 10th grade.

Cabins

Cabins are a home away from home, where boys relax and connect after full days at camp. Designed for 8–12 campers with nearby counselor quarters, they offer comfortable bunks, proper supervision, and an unplugged environment that builds community.

Waysides

Our waysides offer clean, private showers with warm water, spacious changing areas, and well-lit sinks for daily routines. Regularly cleaned and fully powered, they provide a safe, comfortable, and hygienic space for campers to refresh with ease.

Communal Spaces

While our camp is split up into three distinct units, we find plenty of opportunities for the whole camp to come together. This could be on the Knoll for some after dinner games or in the Centennial Lodge for an all-camp talent show.

The Barn is a key gathering space for evening programs, high-energy activities, and indoor use during bad weather. Dating back before the camp’s founding, it was refurbished during the Centennial Campaign to serve future generations of campers.

Dining Hall

Overlooking Lake Winnipesaukee, Pratt Hall is where campers and staff gather three times a day for hearty, buffet-style meals prepared by our camp chef. With options for all dietary needs, a beloved breakfast and salad bar, and energetic mealtimes full of songs and chants, it’s a true centerpiece of camp life.

These hubs are often the heart of communication and coordination, fostering a sense of community and addressing various logistical aspects to enhance the overall camp experience.
