    The Lake Winnipesaukee Sailing Association has certainly blossomed from its humble beginnings. This…read moreis no small part to the efforts of Amy Tripp, the BOD and the yearly staff which seems to continually get better. The boats for the young sailors has increased in size and quantity. The facility is tight and perfectly set up. The boats are immediately adjacent to the water. They are in very good shape. The house is just right for the current size of the program and the new outside tents are perfect for the lesson groupings. The Covid precautions are smart, sensible and reassuring. An added dose of common sense this year is found in the staggered drop off and pick up times. Every day has been easy in and easy out. The instructors are down to earth and knowledgeable. They herd cats and keep the kids competitiveness to a perfect mild roar. They make sure the kids are having fun! Isabella is the second child I have put through a summer session of sailing at the lake and she loves it. Truth be told she has asked when it would start since school let out. An important note is that unlike many other sailing schools they keep it at 2 to boat. This means, quite simply, that everyone actually gets to/has to sail, not just ride in boats. This is very important because sailing is best learned by doing. If your in the lakes region, go for it. Be sure to sign up well in advance as spots book quickly.

    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.

    William Lawrence Camp is an outstanding boys' camp. We had looked at several camps for our son, and…read morehe spent two summers at a different camp. That other camp is excellent and highly respected, but it does not compare to William Lawrence Camp (WLC). WLC is exceptional with its expansive grounds, outstanding activities, and small camper-to-staff ratio. Our son enjoyed the camaraderie, grew in maturity and confidence, has great memories, and looks forward to returning to WLC.

    For ninety years, boys (and for the past thirty years girls, too,) have flocked each summer to Camp…read moreRobin Hood on the shores of Broad Bay, to make new friends in the cabins, to challenge themselves on the fields, to step out of their comfort zone on the stage, and to form bonds that last a lifetime, and in some cases generations. I'm proud to say my family has been part of the Camp Robin Hood family for more than 40 of those years! My brother attended camp when it was all boys - and then in 1987 when girls were added, I was one of the first girl campers (at the time, there were less than 20 of us). I spent 15 summers as a camper, counselor, Group Leader and Waterfront Director. Now the girls and boys camps are equal in size (around 400 total campers) and my oldest daughter will be starting her 4th summer while my twins will be going for the first time. Many traditions are still the same (color war, count-offs, 16 laps, hiking Mount Washington, etc.) while facilities have been updated (new dining hall, several new cabins - others have been renovated, new lodge, updated office, and more) and more activities have been added (Ga-Ga, 9 square and more). I am grateful that my children will get to spend 7 weeks together, away from the hustle and bustle of their school lives with NO SCREENS, enjoying all the White Mountains have to offer. For me, one of the most exciting parts has been watching the never-ending cycle of camp friendships continue, campers often continue through the ranks as counselors in order to "give back" similar memories and experiences to the future generations of the camp. Additionally, the mid-western feel to the camp is a nice change from the fast-past New England world where we live. As a camper, I looked up to the counselors and even the Directors. The Directors today are former campers from the 1970's themselves, and former "camp parents" as well. They have brought Robin Hood traditions forward while continuing to enhance what they offer in the 21st century. And they understand the responsibility they are entrusted with each summer, caring for our children. As a parent, I have found the communication from the Administration both helpful (in preparing for camp and for my children's return after camp) and comforting, when I just want to know my kids are having fun and adjusting to life away from their parents. We have a few sayings at Robin Hood, like "live 10 for 2"(live 10 months of the school year for the 2 months of summer) and there's "magic in the trees". There's nothing quite like the sunset over Lake Ossipee or like camp friends that remain friends for life. There's nothing quite like Camp Robin Hood. I know my family is looking forward to being a part of Robin Hood for at least 90 more years...

    When I went to this camp (about 20 years ago), I was 7 years of age. It was one of the most…read moretraumatic experiences of my life. Truly. They had an old ghost story that went like this: Years and years ago the youngest camper went for a swim in the lake at night and drowned. He was a local kid and his mother went crazy. Her name was Annie. To this day, every July 4th, Crazy Annie comes out of the woods and takes and kills the youngest camper in retribution for the unfair drowning of her son years ago. As I was that youngest camper, Crazy Annie was coming for me! It was brought up at many a camp fire and none of the campers or counselors told me it wasn't a real story. Remember, I had JUST turned 7 less than a month earlier. Already scared of the dark, I was petrified my entire time there. The night of July 4th, Counselors in training (CIT's) positioned themselves on top of my cabin, under it, in the nearby woods and elsewhere awaiting my arrival back to my cabin. As I walked up the hill to my cabin, counselors and campers wished me farewell and good luck. I was frozen with fear. As the CITs spent hours screeching my name from outside, I can't tell you the horror I felt. I was too afraid to leave the cabin to go to the bathroom! My counselor dragged me out yelling anyway! Other cabins laughed and locked their doors in case I tried to run for shelter and help. That coming weekend was parents' visiting day. When my mother arrived I had no clean clothes and a temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit . I would categorize this as child abuse and gross negligence. Be very careful to ensure this camp has changed enormously before sending your child there. Horrific.
