The Premier Boys Overnight Summer Camp in the Adirondacks

Since 1916, Raquette Lake has defined the traditional boys sleepaway camp experience. Our immersive 7-week program is designed specifically for boys, offering a unique single-gender environment where they can build lifelong friendships, gain independence, and develop the confidence to become remarkable young adults. As one of the oldest family-owned boys overnight camps in America, we pride ourselves on a “brother-sister” tradition that provides the benefits of an all-boys summer camp while allowing for structured social events with our sister camp across the lake.

New York’s All Boys Summer Camp

Outdoor adventures abound at our camp! Raquette Lake offers an unparalleled range of activities. From land sports like football, tennis, and basketball to our elite waterfront program featuring wakeboarding and sailing on one of the Adirondacks’ largest lakes, every day is an opportunity for growth. Boys challenge themselves on the largest climbing and ropes course in the East and explore the wilderness during overnight canoe trips. Raquette Lake is the ultimate summer camp for boys seeking both tradition and adventure.
