Raquette Lake Camps

For over 100 years, Raquette Lake Camps has been a beacon of excellence in traditional summer camping, offering a unique and transformative experience for children aged 6 to 15. Located in the breathtakingly beautiful Adirondacks, our separate brother and sister camps provide a supportive environment where children can grow, learn, and create lifelong memories.

A Commitment to Character Building and Friendship

At the heart of our philosophy is a commitment to building strong, lasting friendships and exceptional character. Our dedicated team of directors and staff work tirelessly to ensure that each child who passes through our doors leaves with the confidence, skills, and values necessary to succeed in life.

A World of Activities and Programs

Our camps offer an extraordinary range of activities and programs designed to cater to every interest and ability. From traditional sports like basketball and soccer to wilderness camping, waterfront activities, and quieter moments for reflection, we provide each child with the opportunity to discover new talents, push beyond their comfort zones, and develop a sense of purpose.

A Legacy of Love and Learning

With a history that spans generations, we are proud to have played a role in the lives of so many families. Many of our campers return year after year, and it's not uncommon to see second, third, and even fourth generation campers joining us. This is a testament to the enduring spirit of our camps and the special place we hold in the hearts of those who have been part of our community.
