Raquette Lake Camps reviews

i love raquette lake. it is the best place on earth. i just finished my final summer at raquette after spending 7 there. i would give anything to go back to being a freshman. raquette is the best camp in the world. everything is so perfect. the girls the counselors and the head staff. kathi and eddie are such nice people i wish i could live at raquette forever. the group leaders are really what they say they are, summer moms. but they're not only summer moms, they're always there for you even when not at camp. supy 2012 forever and always. i'll never forget the times i've had at raquette lake. they are probably the most amazing moments i will ever experience. i can't wait to go back as a counselor. i love you supy 12. you'll always be my 24 sisters.

After spending my entire childhood at RL, I only have the best things to say about the camp. After visiting many other camps, the facilities at RL are top notch, but one of the most important takeaways were the traditions and friendships. I still keep in touch with all my camp friends and look forward to sending my daughters here!

This camp is the most incredible place on earth. The girls I've met at there are my best friends I've ever met. I could not imagine spending my summers any other way. The campers make really strong bonds with the counselors, the place and each other. From everywhere on camp you can see the lake and that is part of what makes it the most beautiful place in the world. Once you spend a summer at Raquette it will become your home.

i don't care what anybody says. this camp is actually the greatest place on earth. i just finished my 8th and final summer and all i can think about is going back to camp. i have created life long friendships with the most amazing girls and i have had the best 8 summers of my life. if you seriously think that raquette is a bad place, then its probably you that is the problem, not the camp. SUPY 2011.

I have the privilege of sending my children to this camp. I was up there for visiting day, and WOW it is by far the most beautiful camp I have ever seen. My children used to be at another camp, but the kids were way to spoiled for us. The uniform at this camp helps bring the children down to earth and the facilities and the lake might be the most beautiful place on the planet! I wish I could go back!

ITZ FRIKEN AMAZING ITZ SO FUN AND YOU ARE ALWAYS PAID ATTENTION TOO ALSO IT BECOMES A SECOND HOME EVERYONE IS FRIENDS AND ITS JUST A DREAM WORLD.

BESTTTT CAMPP EVERRRR =]]]]]THIS IS THE BEST CAMP EVER FOUNDED. I WISH I COULD LIVE THERE ALL YEAR ROUND. EVERYONE SHOULD WITH THEY WENT HERE IF THEY DON'T ALREADY. RAQUETTE LAKES GIRLS CAMP IS THE BEST PLACE ON EARTH

Honestly, this is one of the best camps I've ever heard of - I've been going since I was TWO, my mom worked there as a nurse. To tell the truth, I stayed on the boys side, but I was a girl. I couldn't leave my mom, & I only stayed until I was six, but my experiences there are the BEST of my life. The girls side has great facilities, too, but I just find that I liked staying with my mom. The staff? I don't know what these people are talking about. The staff there are WONDERFUL. The ones I know very well have their own kids, the boy's wood shop director lives in my neighbor & he's AWESOME. And, if you just bother to get to know the staff, there's no reason for all their favorites to be the "richies." And about prices & stuff, they need that money, DUH! Can you imagine the expenses for the great facilities they have? And they're supporting thousands of kids, so I think the price is completely reasonable. Sooooo sad I'm not going for the next couple of summers but RL 4ever!

honestly just an amazing camp. everyone should send their kids here, mine had the best time and are still going!

this camp is amazing!! On occasion some people are mean amd you might get homesick but overall this is a great camp!!! GO SUPY 2009

The directors of this camp are so incredibly unprofessional. It is a shame what they have done to such a fine camp. If you are not a favorite (money), you are on your own!

Raquette is AMAZING, if anyone tells you otherwise, do not listen. This summer is my 4th and I spend my whole year dreaming on and on about it. The staff is amazing, Katy and Eddie Lapidus get there staff from all over the world; Africa, Australia, Sweden, Canada, and campers from Venezuela and South America. I love this camp so very much and I HIGHLY recommend it. LOVE U RLGC!!

BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST, BEST CAMPPPPPP EVERRRRR!!<3 I CANT FIND ANY OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH AND I NEVER WANT IT TO END!! SEND YOUR KIDS HERE........I PROMISE YOU, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!! :)

Everything about this camp is above average. One of the best camps in the world. Our rival is Point O Pines which is the spoiled kids camp but here at raquette we rough it. (Not that much). Our bunks are pretty nice. The younger kids ones (starting going into 2nd grade) are amazing and the new bunks are pretty nice too. The oldest girls bunks could use some work but were used to a old bunk. The facilities are prtty nice. The dining hall is being redone to make it bigger. It will be ready for the summer of 2008. The camp is also building a new indoor gym and work out center so there is more to do on a rainy day. The activites vary. You seem to take less active acitivites as you get older, but thats not bad for all people. The person attention goes along with the staff. If they like you they like you, if they dont do not except special treatment. The cams expensice almost 12,000 for the older girls and the unifrom does not help that price. But i love it and its my last summer. SUPY 2008

This camp is sooooo great. I have gone for 3 years and every min. has been great. Those comments that say the camp stink are soooo wrong. So we all get a little homesick, but the campis the best. Join me and my friends at Raquette soon. I miss camp soo much when I am at home and so everyone should give it a try. Just to warn the food is not sooo great but with the friend you will make it won't matter. I am a real Raquette Lake camper, and not one of the owners or a fake and I am telling everyone what they are missing not coming to camp here. Everyone should come and visit the camp during the summer and at least see it. It is right on the lake and you go swimming all of the time. The lake does get really cold but eventually you will get over it. The camp hold children ages seven to fifteen. This is a true opinion and I love raquette mote then anything in the world. Take me seriously and come visit raquette. You can visit RaquetteLake.com and learn more. Bye for now!!

I had the best time of my life at RLGC!!!I can not wait to go back next summer! The staff were great the food was amazing and I made so many friends(like best friends for life)!!!I am so happy I Go to RLGC!

The owners are hands on and very interested in "their kids". I was a camp doctor one year and saw the professionalism of the entire staff. My daughters are having the time of their lives. All sleep aways are around the same amount give or take. The prices for the clothing is a bit outrageous but I cant imagine what kind of clothes I would have to send them up with to compete. Love the camp.

This camp is so amazing! My daughter has been at this camp every summer since she was 7. She loves it so much, and it is a huge part of her life. I have no regets in sending her here, for i know she has made lifelong friendships. She spends the summers laughing and having fun with her camp friends, and spends the year counting down the days until she can come back. I dont know what she will do with herself when her final summer is over. Make no hesitation in sending you child to this wonderful camp. Not only are the ficilities great, but she wouldn't trade anything for the bonds that have been created between her and her friends.

NOTHING ELSE TO SAY BUT OMG I LOVE THIS CAMP LIKE NO OTHER!!!! I CANT WAIT FOR THE SUMMER!!!! OMG I LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!!

WOW! I cant even describe how amazing this camp is! Everybody is freindly and everybody is freinds with eachother! the activities are amazing and the campus is beautiful! coming back until supy, then as a counsler, then as the owner!!! ((eventhough Kathy and Eddy are the best!!)) CANT WAIT TILL O7!!!1

Costs too much and the directors did not always tell the truth (don't want to be libelous now would we). Stay awaay from this place.

I LOVE RLGC WOOOOO!!!! OSPREY 03~CEDAR ISLAND 04~PINE 05~STRONGHEART 06~ 07????? supy 09 ROCKS!!! I LOVE RAQUETTE!!!11

this is the most AH-mazing camp ever!! there is no such thing as a bad summer here, everyone is freinds with everyone and i feel like these girls are sisters! I cant say enough about this camp to show how much i love it! anyone who gives it below a 5 is out of their minds!!! I LOVE RLGC!

Raquette Lake is the most amazing times in your life and here is why and why not. Most of the Staff is amazing yeah some just hate camp as soon as u get there but the rest are so amazing and their trying to make ur summer the best ever. The facilities are ok We have an amazing gym and water front thought so it equalls out and boys have the hightest rock wall in the country and a high rope course. The activetes are decent and when it rains we just chill in the older age and younger plays bingo or gym. A ton of personal attention for you. Ever one knows u by ame i know ever other 299 camper and their are 300 of us. I know ever consulars name and they know mine. I know ever i should a bout them and vice versa. The vaule is the same in ever other well know camp and this camp takes very wealthy kids so it is far to them. They could make the bunks nicer thought alot nicer. This camp is so amazing I typed almost getting closer 1000 character or letters!!!

THIS CAMP IS AH-MAZING!!! the past 4 years i went there were the most amazing times of my life! I LOVE THIS CAMP! i made the most ah-mazinggg friends! tamarack '03 carryon '04 birch '05 SUPY '06! I LOVE YOU GIRLS SO MUCH!

Wow what some of the people are saying about this camp! How could you do that! I'm on my 4th year in counting and i honestly think its amazing. All of my best friends are there. So what if the cousilers drink at night? Their over 21 and they get in trouble for it so its not our concern.

This camp cannot be described in words because it is that amazing. To think that anyone would degrade it is insane because everyone there is amazing. Best times of my life were spent there!!I love Raquette Lake!!

I have spent seven summers at Raquette and they have been the best times of my life. All the girls are so sweet and it is hurtful that anyone would call them anything else. The only girls that do not fit in and have bad summers, are the mean ones who don't want to fit in. I would recomend this camp to anyone intrested on having the best summers ever.

THIS IS THE MOST AMAZZING PLACE EVERR! I HAD THE 5 BEST SUMMERS OF MY LIFE AT RAQUETTE AND I MET MY BEST FRIENDS IN THE WORLD HERE!! I TOTALLY RECOMMEND RAQUETTE FOR ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A CAMP CUZ YOU WILL HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!!

raquette lake is AMAZING. i had the best experience there EVER. if you want an amazing summer go to raquette. i love love love it!

I AM SHOCKED AT WHAT SOME PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT RAQUETTE LAKE! IT IS THE MOST AMAZING PLACE ON EARTH AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT ANYONE WOULD SAY OTHERWISE. IF YOU WANT AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE GO TO THIS CAMP. IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!

The staff was awesome, some girls rocked, find ur place and ull love it, also the activities are very good

AMAZING! best summer of my lyfe i felt so welcome!!!! its like a dream come true xxoxoxoxo saranac 06 4 lyfe can't wait 2 come back!!!!

My kids had nightmare summers. NEVER AGAIN. THis place is an insane, confusing mess -- no one knows what they are doing!?! Things are constantly changing or being canceled. Do they train the staff? Doesn't seem like it. And, what is with the cement around the lake? A horror story.

Just got back from my 5th amazing summer. U can start sending ur kids here when there entering 3rd grade. Start them early and u will have the most amazings summers in your life. XOXOXO Cedar island 03 Pine 04 Strong heart 05 Tamarak 06 Birchwood 07 Supy08 09?

The required uniform for this camp includes logo'd swimsuits, twice as many t-shirts, shorts, sweatpants, and sweatshirts as are acually needed, and a logo'd blanket (which every girl has, causing the cabins to look so uniform that you could mistake it for a military camp!) The grand total for the required uniform items, NOT INCLUDING ADDITIONAL NEEDED ITEMS, is over ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Consider the additional cost of the uniform before choosing this camp for your daughter. I beleive that camp uniforms are a great idea, but this camp takes it a little too far!

Not a fun place at all. Very disorganized and staff drink every night. Directors lie to you to get you to go there. Nice boats though.
