Why?
Before the school year started the last couple of years, I headed north to New Hampshire and went off-grid. Normal tech-produced inputs were removed and replaced with space for reflection and planning. I returned home with clarity, purpose, and gratitude for the opportunities that awaited. This year, we are inviting others who wish to join us who want the same.
Each participant should be able to:
- do a full day of hiking, carrying their food and water.
- forgo their phones for the duration of the experience.
- complete assigned chores to maintain the shared space.
- willing to journal.
Camp Director
Bill Rexford, a member of the Oregon Lacrosse Hall of Fame, started the first boys team in the state of Oregon and coached Glencoe High School to the state championship in just his third year. In 1997, Bill started another program at Century high school and coached them to state playoffs in their second year. From 1999-2002 he took over the head coaching job at Rye Country Day School. During this time, he was named Fairchester Coach of the Year by his peers. It was then back to Oregon, this time the High Desert, where he started one more program in Sisters Or. Bill oversaw a k-12 program with 200+ participants while capturing 100+ wins. In 2014, Bill earned US Lacrosse Oregon “Man of the Year” award for the positive impact he had on countless athletes through the state of Oregon. In addition to this award, Bill was also honored with two additional accolades, the National “Spirit of Sport Award” and the “Coach of the Year” for the High Desert Lacrosse League and most recently inducted into the US Lacrosse Hall of Fame for the Oregon Chapter. Bill now resides in Redding, CT. He heads up the Weston High School boys lacrosse program and in his first years as head coach took the team to the state quarter finals . Previously Coach Rexford was Head Coach at The Wooster School, which are Western New England Division III Champions for 2016 and 2017. He was inducted into the Staples Hall of Fame in 2022. When Bill is not coaching he is often found on the field at men’s league games and tournaments playing the sport he loves, lacrosse!
