In the wonderful state of New Hampshire, amid the lush greenery and sparkling lakes, there's a lively group of young adventurers who partake in a thrilling activity - Kayaking! They call themselves the "Paddle Pirates," led by their insurmountably cool imaginary captain, Captain Crash Splash! Captain Crash Splash isn't your typical pirate, no sir! He has a wild, windblown beard made entirely of water splashes, a hat that magically transforms into any type of kayak he wishes, and an uproarious laugh that echoes across the vast New Hampshire lakes! He's a bit clumsy, often flipping his kayak and flopping into the water, but he always comes up laughing and ready for more, making him a true inspiration for the Paddle Pirates. The Paddle Pirates don't just kayak; they embark on epic quests! Every ripple in the water is a monstrous sea beast, every floating leaf an uncharted island, and every gust of wind a pirate's challenge! With Captain Crash Splash leading the way, these New Hampshire kids paddle with gusto, their laughter echoing across the lakes and rivers. Each new day brings a new adventure for the Paddle Pirates. Between the roaring rapids, the mysterious misty mornings, and the legendary race against the Windy Wind Paddlers, there's never a dull moment in their kayaks. And at the end of the day, they gather around a crackling campfire, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories of their voyages with Captain Crash Splash. In the enchanting world of New Hampshire's great outdoors, these kids aren't just paddling through water; they're sailing through the biggest adventure of their young lives, learning the true spirit of fun, friendship, and fearless exploration!

For nearly a century, the William Lawrence Camp has been providing youth with healthy outdoor recreational opportunities. Founded in the early 1900s, the camp was named after William Lawrence, an early advocate of camping. For many years, the camp had a strong relationship with the Episcopal Church. Families often learned of the camp through their local parishes, and during the summer, visiting clergy offered Sunday services in the outdoor chapel. Through the years, the camp has continued to promote the importance of shared values and ideals. In the late sixties, the camp ended its association with the church, but has continued to embrace this same core philosophy. Today, the William Lawrence Camp offers a variety of activities and is a place for youth to have fun and form lasting memories. It is a testament to William Lawrence’s commitment to providing healthy opportunities for young people and his belief in the importance of commonly shared values and ideals.
