★★★★★Genevieve DeWaldWonderful camp in a beautiful environment. The staff is so friendly, helpful, and are clearly passionate about the organization. My son had a very positive two week experience here and is already talking about his return next summer. Five stars🙂
★Adam SpeignerLocal. Came up to watch fireworks with my kids over the lake on 4th of July like many years past. Karen called to have us removed (no one around, camp closed.) Snobby people. I was enjoying a cigar and a seltzer in a field hundreds of yards away, on unposted sight. I was approached and told to leave.
★★★★★Jonathan DodsonAs a camper from 1985 to 1993, it was, and still is, one of the greatestest experiences of my life. 3 years ago, my own kids had the privilege to attend WLC for the first time, while the grounds have been upgraded here and there, it remains almost exactly the same. No devices, social media, or the craziness of life these days. Just a great program, learning skills and life lessons, building friendships and character, having fun, being active but relaxed, competition and drive, delicious food, creating lifelong memories. Not cheap, but reasonably priced considering everything that goes along with it. A diamond in the rough, don't hesitate to give your kids an experience they won't ever forget, I know I won't.
★★★★★MatthewA William Lawrence Camp experience is unmatched and truly life-changing! From significant personal growth to creating life-long friendships, having had the privilege of being both a camper and counselor, I cherish the countless memories I have created and hope to share my camp spirit with others! I would highly recommend this camp! The benefit of being disconnected and immersed in your environment, especially within the current modern digital age, is invaluable! Additionally, the activities and trips offered are amazing! Don't miss out!
★★★★★Nathanael MathieuA bit strange but the dining hall and related facilities were nice. I was there for an archery instructor camp, and the visiting instructor was impressed by their archery setup. The view was quite beautiful, especially of the sunset.
