William Lawrence Camp

Questions Asked and Answered

The announcement that William Lawrence is suspending operations this summer leaves everyone with questions, and those coming from campers will differ from those coming from parents, counselors, or alumni. We've tried to anticipate as many as possible in advance, and will continue to add to this list as new information is available. 

There are three options for families to choose from:

1. Request a full refund. We will be able to process refunds withine 1 calendar year
2. Roll your deposit to summer 2021 and automatically receive the Early Enrollment discount
3. Donate your deposit to WLC Operating Costs for 2020

Each camp is different and will ultimately assess its ability to operate in 2020 based on federal, state, and local guidance, its facilities, programming, location, and many other factors.

We would love for you to visit camp if it is deemed safe!

We are alsways looking for the WLC community to come to camp for a visit or to help with some of the projects.

In order to ensure the safety of everyone in our community, please contct the camp office if you would like to spend the day at camp. 

If you were due to receive your Bill Larry Boy or Bill Larry Man in 2020, you will get it when you return to camp and you will get credit for summer 2020. So, if you were supposed to get your Bill Larry Boy in 2020 and you come back in 2021, you will receive your Bill Larry Boy recognition and be in your sixth WLC summer.

William Lawrence will welcome back domestic 16 year olds as either 2nd year Seniors or LITs. International 16 year olds have always been and will continue to be second year Seniors.

We plan to run the LIT program virtually with the potential of spending some time onsite for summer 2020. 

More information will be sent home when we finish developing the online program.

All staff that was hired or placed with an agency has a standing job for summer 2021. Nat will reach out at the end of the year to confirm your intent to join us.

As a non-profit organization, William Lawrence relies on the generosity of our community members to help put our mission into action. Suspending camp this summer will have a dramatic impact not just on our operating budget for this year, but on our future enrollment and capacity for growth. 

Stay tuned for a Capital Campaign that will be presented via email and social media. In the meantime, consider donating online by clicking HERE.

Yes! WLC will continue to oganize Re-ZOOM-ions as well as create smaller Zoom calls for current campers based on Unit. 

We are also working on a WLC Directory so everyone will have each other's contact information. Please stay tuned as this may take a little while to organize. 

Camp is something that lives inside each of us. Although we will not be together this summer, we can support each other from a distance. William Lawrence’s staff is working to develop ways for us to connect and continue some of camp’s traditions and programming remotely. We would love to hear your suggestions about other ways we can have a great WLC experience separate yet together.

We plan to have 2021's dtaes and rates available by August 1st. Those that choose to roll their 2020 deposit to 2021 will automatically receive the Early Enrollment Discount.
