Staff Time Off

Every staff member has at least 6 days off during the summer, and 4 night off per week. During the day there are available periods off.

Staff Qualities

Staff members at Raquette Lake Camps don’t entertain campers, we engage them. And to make sure that happens, we are looking for counselors who are prepared to be the best big brothers and big sisters they can be. Through your passion and personality, campers will learn more about themselves and their potential.

Raquette counselors get the chance to develop deep bonds with their campers, spending seven weeks in the same bunk with the same kids and staff...while many also work at a favorite activity area where they can share their skills with all our campers.

These program activity areas are manned by both professional instructors and dedicated counselors, who challenge campers to learn new skills and improve old ones, all while having so much fun they never want to leave. Program areas include swimming, waterskiing, tennis, basketball, archery, canoe/kayak, arts and crafts, baseball, volleyball and many more.
