Wilderness Trips

Wilderness trips are an important part of the overall Camp program. Middler and Senior campers venture out on two, three and four day trips to northern New Hampshire and Maine. While these trips are an optional component of the William Lawrence experience, campers are encouraged to try one as these trips are an enormous contributor toward character development.
