Camp Director
Lawrence Axmith
A life-long camper-at-heart who grew up on Lake Simcoe, is excited to return to Camp Arrowhead as Director this summer.
In previous summers, Lawrence served as Camp Director at Westside Fun Day Camp, Theatre Brockville, and The Randolph Academy’s York Region Triple Threat Camp. He spent two summers as the Cultural Arts Director at Camp Ramah in California, and many more on the senior staff at Camp Winnebagoe. During the school year, he teaches Music and Performing Arts to Grades 3-8 at the Leo Baeck Day School.
In a previous life, Lawrence trained at the Leah Posluns Theatre School; graduated with a BFA in Film/TV/Radio from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts; wrangled talent on the Spring Break beaches of Cancun for MTV and backstage at Radio City Music Hall for the Tony Awards; casted voice talent for Simon & Schuster’s Audio Division; produced shows at the Toronto Fringe Festival; and served as the Artistic Director at Manhattan’s New York Youth Theater and for the Randolph Young Company at Toronto’s Randolph College for the Performing Arts.
Lawrence will be joined at Arrowhead by his wife Naomi Savage, a TDSB high school teacher, his 11-year old daughter Trudy, an Arrowhead camper excited to return, and his 8-year old son, Benji, a budding musical prodigy with fabulous hair hiding under his bucket hat.
