Selecting Ramaquois for your child is a very important decision because camp is a vehicle to ensure your child's emotional, social and physical development beyond the limits of their school environment.

Our carefully planned, age appropriate programs give campers of all ages the opportunity to tap into and explore their personal talents and potential.  Our selective Staff guides our campers to reach their goals and challenge their horizons.

We hope every camper leaves our camp believing in themselves and feeling a strong sense of accomplishment.  We hope our campers leave Ramaquois standing a little taller, feeling more self-confident, communicating effectively with their peers, learning to make meaningful friendships, holding dear to their Ramaquois memories and respecting the value of others.

Ramaquois is truly a camp family. It is a community where everyone is valued, respected, and welcomed.
