Over 100 years operating as a boys sleep-away sports camp on Lake Winnepesaukee surrounded by the White Mountains, it has some of the best views in the country.

I wanted to like Camp Huckins because my daughter enjoyed attending for 3 consecutive years and…read morebecause it's located nearby. But I can't because: 1) The nurse had no idea that health insurance cards are protected health information (PHI) by law (HIPAA). 2) I hand-delivered 2 letters for my daughter in summer 2024. One got to her; the 2nd did not. This was a heartfelt father-daughter communication, so I complained. The registrat (AL) said she'd bring the matter to the director's (SM) attention that evening at dinner. I heard nothing. 3) I decided to stop sending my daughter and received an email from Huckins asking why. This time, I informed the director (SM) directly. She did not reply. Since their medical staff is poorly informed and their director doesn't care enough to even reply to parents, it seems fair to question whether one should entrust their child to those people. Finally, I should note that the registrar (AL) is an excellent communicator who responds quickly and fairly. She geniuinely seems to care.

The best, by far. I could not ask for a better place for my child.read more

William Lawrence Camp (WLC for short) is a fun, well rounded, and relaxed summer camp for boys…read more It's a great environment to grow up in and I spent 6 summers there as both a camper and staff member. WLC is a traditional summer camp. If you are looking for a camp for your son to become a soccer star, this isn't it. If you want a place for him to go to make friends, explore the outdoors, and be active, WLC is perfect. Each week campers signup for the morning classes of their choice. In the afternoons, they are given a "free swim" period when they can wander the camp and do whatever they want. From swimming to archery or rock climbing, there are dozens of options. The staff is a mix of longtime staff, former campers, and international staff. The international staff are a constant source of vibrancy, introducing the boys to rugby, cricket, and other culture. Former campers are allowed to grow into responsibility as staff. Longtime staff like Nat Crane and Scott "Goose" Giessler keep the traditions alive. This sums it up best: every time I'm in the area, I return to camp for a visit. When I do, I'm welcomed with open arms and a smile. It's great to be among friends and family sharing fond memories- which is what WLC is all about.

This summer will be the 4th year for our son, and he can't wait to get back. WL Camp offers so…read moremany outdoor activities, camaraderie with counselors and new friends from all over the world, healthy meals, and a break from electronics. More than that, it has given him a strong sense of independence, confidence, and an appreciation for nature.

We trust the staff, and particularly the director Nat Crane, and we have always felt that he was safe and happy there. Very highly recommend this camp!

WHAT?!?! If I had known Robindel was on Yelp, I would've given it 5 stars 100 years ago…read more My last summer was eleven years ago, and I have been back to visit almost every summer since. The memories and friends that I made at camp will certainly last a lifetime. The directors Ann and Nat have done everything possible to maintain the important traditions of CR, and you never have to worry that they will sell out to a big camping organization or that they will ever build a pool. The lake is the most important drawing point because it is the largest, most beautiful, and most pristine lake in all of New England. The camp wraps around the lake, and all of the property in use is along the waterfront. The grounds are impeccable, and the campers (but for a few bad apples) love and respect the camp, and its traditions, to the up most degree. The food is another important drawing factor. Gary, the chef, whose first summer was in 1958, still makes everything he can from scratch, and he is extremely talented. He is the only Black man, who can braid a challah better than any Jew on earth. Gary sparked my love for food 17 years ago, and now I'm an elite yelper all thanks to him. My mom says he is the reason she sent me here. This is an all-girls, uniform, camp. The campers are primarily, but not exclusively, Jewish. The staff is almost exclusively gentile, with the exception of returning camper counselors. The directors and administration are strict, and rule-breaking isn't tolerated, and is treated as a distraction to the overall camp experience (i.e. you'll get sent home for any serious infraction). However, as a camper, there was never any temptation to get into trouble. Even at 14 years old, boys, cigarettes, drinking, etc. were the absolute farthest things from our minds. In those years, we would never think of doing anything to jeopardize our Color War standings. Color War at Robindel is a 7 week event, with competition taking place every Sunday, and culminating with Sing in the final days of camp. The winners are determined after the Sing competition. Seriously, send your daughters here. It comes more highly recommended than Babbo or Ippudo.

And, of course, everything is overcooked. The menus don't look awful but the food is nothing to look forward to. Breakfast is OK as there is less for the kitchen to ruin. Once they served cold cuts for lunch and that was also OK. Problem is if you stay there you have to eat there as it is quite a distance to any other food. If they could fix the food, like serve food fit for adults, they would really have a great resort.

It was a family retreat I use to go to with my whole family for at least 28 years.... Then I got busy and had a family and one day I plopped my family in the car and took a day trip up there and showed them where I grew up as a child and had wonderful vacations there. If you look at there web site which I just did or go on there facebook page you will see beautiful pictures. I have gone 3 years in a row now to volunteer and help clean up and prepare for there many retreats that are hosted there. The food is awesome cooked daily ,,,breakfast , lunch and dinners !!! Young children,kids and adults would all have a great experience of trying some type of retreat there. You can even plan your own retreat by calling up there and talking to the person in charge of setting something up. It is not a place to go to be disrespectful, its a place to go for peace and fun. When you get there the beauty and scenario takes over and you are in awe of awesome the place really is. I never thought id see this on yelp but let me tell you I give it 5 stars because it deserves 5 stars !!! TRUST ME !!!! Look on there web site as I just did.. They have numerous options to choose from to have a great family vacation or other things ! Peter claypoole is the director of Geneva point center and along with his dedicated group of workers and volunteers they to a fantastic job.

I was hesitant to share our experience, but I feel it's important for other families to hear it…read more From our experience, this camp is not run the way it's presented. They do an excellent job marketing themselves to prospective families, but what we experienced was very different once our son was there - Summer 2025. They hire many alumni as counselors or counselors in training who are too young, and when issues arise, there seems to be very little accountability. In our case, it felt like protecting relationships with counselors' families took priority over protecting the campers. Our son attended as an incoming freshman. We discovered his trunks had never even been unpacked. His bathing suits, personal belongings, and even letters from home remained untouched after confirming MULTIPLE times everything was unpacked. Even more concerning, we learned that one specific counselor had been hazing and teasing both our son and another camper. When we brought this to Woody's attention, our concerns were initially dismissed. We later found out they were already aware there had been issues with this counselor. Rather than removing him from camp, they simply transferred him to another bunk--while still allowing him access to his previous bunk and the same children. That decision completely shattered our trust. We spent nearly $17,000 expecting our son to have an incredible summer. Instead, he came home with an experience that has had lasting emotional effects. We didn't fully realize the extent of it until this year, when he was almost unable to get on the bus to attend a different camp because of the anxiety and fear he carried from what happened. Woody's response was an apology, a bottle of tequila, and a $500 discount toward returning the following summer--as if we would ever consider sending our son back. In our opinion, the appropriate response would have been to take full responsibility and refund our tuition. Every family's experience is different, but this was ours. I hope sharing it helps another parent make an informed decision.
