Congrats to our bunks of the week! Placid, Adirondack, and SUPY! Your bunks were spotless!
Last night was another evening activity rich in tradition as we held our four week sing. As you know the girls have been preparing learning songs and practicing. Our girls sang alma maters written during past team weeks!
Could you believe the girls performed a song that was written in 1969, another that has become the camp’s Alma Mater, and finally a song that was reintroduced to our camp several summers ago by a third generation RLGC family. The beauty is that the music for that song was an original composition written by a counselor for her team in 1976. It probably would have been forgotten, but some RL legacies – along with their mom – helped us bring it back to life. Today, it has become a tradition for Birchwood to sing it. So today we say thank you to our Alumni for giving us the opportunity to let these traditions live on forever at Raquette. It is so special to have your children as part of our summer family again and we hope that our new campers families join us for generations as well!
