When a fire broke out in 2020, Lawrence was quick to share what this Simpsonville camp meant to her, “I grew up on that farm, going to Camp Hi Ho every summer. When my brother Blaine took it over, he applied his creative mind and fun loving spirit and expanded a camp that was already the coolest, because it was the only place where kids could do whatever they wanted. A muddy messy paradise. I’m grateful to Camp Hi Ho for the amazing childhood memories.” Thankfully, no people or animals were hurt in the fire and they were able to rebuild quickly thanks to community support.
