Hello, Raquette Lake Families!

Even as we’re enjoying a beautiful autumn, we can’t help but look forward to summer when we’re all together again! We have many exciting things coming up in 2025 that we want to share with you:

Program & Facilities Updates for 2025

Archery is coming to Girls Camp! We’ve seen how much our girls love participating in Archery when they visit Boys Camp for Family Hobby Night, so we’re bringing Archery to Girls Camp!

A STEM program will be integrated into Arts at Boys Camp! This will include Rocketry, RC cars, robotics, and more! We are excited to announce that we have hired a wonderful Head of STEM who will bridge science and technology into the Boys Camp Arts program. His experience in Design Technology and Media Arts will anchor our STEM program - we can’t wait to see what the boys create!

A Fitness Center is being added to Girls Camp! We will be outfitting facilities on the Girls Camp to become a Fitness Center! This will include equipment for various weight training and fitness classes! Participation in the Fitness program will be available as an upper-camp elective throughout the summer.

Rondaxe and Gore are undergoing bathroom renovations to include in-bunk showers! This is part of a multi-year plan to outfit all remaining bunks at Boys Camp with in-cabin showers. Renovations will be complete on Rondaxe and Gore for summer 2025!

Many more exciting updates to come - stay tuned for our December newsletter to hear more!

Alumni Back at Raquette in 2025!

We are so fortunate to have such a strong community of Alumni, many of whom return as counselors and Head Staff. Take a look at some of the Alumni we have back at Raquette this summer!
