New Hampshire, or as our imaginary character, Captain Splashy Beard, likes to call it, "The Secret Sea Kingdom". Captain Splashy Beard, who happens to be a hilarious pirate, is not like any other pirate. He sails not on the salty seas, but on the quiet, sparkling lakes of New Hampshire! Now, you might ask, "A pirate in a land full of mountains and forests?" But don't be fooled, for New Hampshire is not only about its majestic White Mountains or the lush Dartmouth-Lake Sunapee forests. This splendid state is also home to several serene lakes, where you'll often find the adventure-loving kids of New Hampshire eagerly involved in sailing. These kids, under the guidance of the funny Captain Splashy Beard, have mastered the art of setting the sails, catching the wind, and steering their vessels across Lake Winnipesaukee and other beautiful water bodies. Each day, you'll find Captain Splashy Beard, with his rubber duck floaty, and his crew of mini-mariners unleashing their boats onto the glass-like waters. Amid the laughter, splashes, and occasional duck chases, the children learn patience, teamwork, and respect for nature. They are not just kids but courageous sailors embarking on their mini adventures, discovering unseen parts of New Hampshire’s beautiful lakes. And, let's not forget about the infamous "Pirate Joke Hour," where Captain Splashy Beard entertains his crew with his notorious sea jokes. "Why couldn't the pirate play cards?" He'd ask, tugging at his rubbery duck beard, only to burst out laughing, "Because he was sitting on the deck!" Ahoy, the fun and frolic of sailing in New Hampshire with Captain Splashy Beard!

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.
