TEAM WEEK 2025!!!!

Tonight was one for the books at Girls Camp! The evening started in true Raquette Lake tradition, gathered around the Saranac campfire under a sky full of stars. Campers cozied up on the benches, listening to stories of the birchwood girls amaxing trip, and toasting marshmallows for the perfect golden-brown s’mores. The laughter, the crackling fire, and the sweet smell of chocolate made it a moment to remember.

Just when it seemed like the night was winding down, the real adventure began. Back in their bunks, campers discovered a surprise waiting for them, presents! Inside each gift was a mysterious button with a recorded riddle. The excitement was electric as bunks worked together to crack the clues.

Solving the riddles led each bunk to their next destination, where they collected puzzle pieces. The race was on to put it all together! The air buzzed with anticipation as the pieces slowly revealed the big secret, Team Week had officially broken! Blue and white confetti flew in the air! After about 20 minutes of cheers, and hugs everyone made their way to the Team Week Campfire, ready to kick off one of the most spirited weeks of the summer.

The night had it all—cozy camp traditions, teamwork, mystery, and a big, exciting reveal. If tonight is any sign, this year’s Team Week is going to be unforgettable!
