The boys jumped right into the program rotating through all the activities and especially enjoyed their introduction to our new program, STEAM. They also jumped right into the lake for their swim tests! But, it wasn’t just about sports and schedules. It was about setting the tone for an unforgettable summer!
As the sun set over the beautiful lake with the pine trees behind, we gathered together for the opening campfire, a cherished Raquette Lake tradition. Everyone loved listening to stories and wisdom about the history and virtures of Boys Camp.
We recognized campers who have been with us for 5, 8, and 10 summers. These boys continue to grow up at Raquette Lake.
We proudly honored our dedicated staff with milestone jackets, a tradition that never fails to stir excitement. Staff were recognized for 3, 5, 5, 10, 20, and 25 years of commitment and love for camp!
This year, we also celebrated an extrordinary milestone. Kathi and Eddie Lapidus were honored for 25 years as the heart and soul of Raquette Lake Camps. Their passion and leadership have shaped thousands of lives, and last night, the camp family showed their gratitude in full force. They even received $25,000 Raquette Bucks!
Day one set the bar high. It reminded us that the days are filled with action and the nights are filled with traditions.
