We consider ourselves to be a structured camp with an individual program. Especially as a young person reaches the teenage years, campers at Laurel have choice in their program, but with a great deal of guidance and commitment to follow through on their programs. It is an extremely busy and dynamic program. Another issue subject to distortion in the camping community. Our artists, our water-skiers, our windsurfers, our actors, are equally as important to the camp community as our soccer, baseball and lacrosse players.
Laurel is divided into six campuses, three for boys and three for girls.
The size of each campus allows us to provide a very personal, close-knit atmosphere and a great deal of individual attention. Campuses are further broken into smaller groups, assigned by grade completed in school. There is inter-camp competition with other camps in our area in such activities as Tennis, Soccer, Baseball, Lacrosse, Softball, Basketball, Volleyball, Riding, Sailing, Swimming, Windsurfing and Archery. At Laurel, we play to win, but consider the game a success if we played our best, have been good sports and have had a great time. The dress is very casual, without emphasis on who is wearing what or how much it costs.
