For Now
It’s Enough

Sarah Culpepper explains the joy of working at LLYC in her winning essay for the It’s Time to Tell Your Story contest!  Crickets. That’s the only sound I hear when I ask a question during Cabin Time, our time of reflection after Roundup. Now, I’ve been with these girls for at least seven days and I haven’t […]

Maryn Swierc’s 500 Mile Hike

“I learned that my insecurities do not go away because I am in a different country.” How long were you at camp? I was at camp for a total of 13 summers. I started out as a camper at Singing Hills and spent about 7 summers on staff between SH, EV, and HW on Crew, […]

LLYC Alumni does Laity Lodge Family Camp

The rain took a small break last weekend while our beloved LLYC Alumni descended upon LLFC for some family fun in the Canyon. So many well-loved alums gathered together, swapping stories, counting up the years since they’d been back to this place they hold so dear, all while making new memories with their families over […]

Paige Perry

How many summers have you been at LLYC? Wow, it’s been 15 years! I got a late start — was too afraid to leave home until I was an older camper, but ever since I haven’t been able to leave. I enjoyed my time as a camper, but really began to thrive and truly love […]

Kansas

How many summers did you spend in the Canyon?  I spent 5 summers in the Canyon on staff. I started my first summer as a Federales counselor, which was a full summer with some great dudes. I’ll never forget it. The next summer I worked in the same cabin with most of the same co-counselors. […]

That 70’s Blog: Catching Up with Teri Albright

How many summers did you spend in the Canyon? I started in 1970-72 as a camper, back in the days of Frog’s Airstream by the river; 1973 was my Work Crew summer, and in 1974/5 I was a counselor. I worked alongside Ted Williams for 2 years as a lifeguard and swimming/CPR instructor. Fast forward, […]
