What a weekend! There is nothing like bringing our Raquette Lake family together, and this past weekend was filled with familiar faces and great memories.
We kicked off the weekend on Saturday evening in New York City with an incredible alumni meet-up, welcoming nearly 100 alumni spanning decades of Raquette Lake history! The evening was filled with laughter, reminiscing, sharing favorite camp stories, and even a song to close out the night! We were also proud to raise money for SCOPE, an organization that helps provide children with the opportunity to experience summer camp.
Our alumni are such an important part of the Raquette Lake legacy. They carry our traditions, friendships, and spirit with them long after their camper and counselor days are over. Seeing so many generations come together is a wonderful reminder that Raquette isn’t just a place you spend your summers, it’s a community you remain part of for life. We loved reconnecting with everyone and look forward to making these alumni gatherings a continued tradition!
The fun continued on Sunday at Sportime USA, where our campers reunited for a morning of arcade games, rides, yummy food, prizes, and, most importantly, time with our camp friends!
There is something so special about watching campers pick up right where they left off, as though no time has passed since the last day of summer 2026. The smiles, laughter, and excitement of being together again was pure Raquette magic.
A huge thank you to all of our alumni, campers, families, and staff who joined us throughout the weekend. We missed those who couldn’t make it!
After this weekend one thing is certain: the Raquette Lake spirit doesn’t end when summer does! Whether it’s been a few months or a few decades, the friendships and memories made at Raquette continue to bring us together.
With love,
Tara & Gregg
