A’dreana (Camper – 11)

Some of my best memories were created at Ramaquois in the 60s. Attaining Mt. Olympus, taking part in plays like Damn Yankees and Fiddler that we put on. The greatest staff and friends. Great times

Lisa B. (Parent)

I love this camp!

Austin (Camper – 10)

Both my children had wonderful experiences there and we will never forget you. Of all the places my kids go (sports, classes, other camps when they were younger, school, etc) we have never had a better experience. Ramaquois is the warmest, best run, caring, loving, up to date, organized of them all. Each summer I was more impressed than the last. You think of everything! And I am a tough customer! I am proud and grateful to have been a part of the family. Thank you for everything. My hat is off to you all.

ok, i had to share! i was tucking my son to sleep tonight and he said “mom, do you grow when you sleep?” so i said yes and he said “then i never want to sleep so i can always be little and stay in junior camp forever”. just a testament to how great Ramaquois is and how it’s seen through the eyes of a 5 year old…

Alyssa (Parent)

The best thing about Ramaquois was that as I got older, the program always changed so that it was new and exciting! I started when I was 4, and stayed until I was 15 and I never got bored! Best summers ever!!!

Rob (Alumnus – 34)

I was an Arts and Crafts counselor in 1950. I carved a totem pole for the camp site!

Richard Allan (Alumnus – 79)

I want to take this opportunity to thank you for so many wonderful years at Ramaquois. My boys, Ben and Luke, went to Ramaquois for a total of 7 years. The wonderful experiences helped Ben ease into sleepaway camp and Luke will follow next summer. Ramaquois was nothing short of exciting, friendship building, nurturing, fun and extremely well staffed. Everything from the bus ride to the care with the nurses to the group leaders was so well oiled and professional. Thank you for helping my boys learn to cherish the meaning of camp! It will stay with them forever and ever! Best wishes to you, your family and future Ramaquois campers.

Wendy (Parent)

I have only been at camp for 2 years but I regret the years that I was not at camp Ramaquois!

Amanda (Camper – 11)

Ramaquois is such a major part of who I am today. Every summer of my life from the time I was 4 until I was 20 was spent there. I still have a lot of friends from camp and I will always have some of my best memories from camp. Ramaquois is a very special place.

Benji (Alumnus – 23)

Every person we met, division leaders, group leaders, counselors, bus driver and bus counselor, has a “special gift” to treat my children well. They couldn’t be better!

Maria (Parent)

Some of the best times of my life were spent during my 16 summers at Camp Ramaquois. The fact that I am still very close with so many people from those years is a testament to how special Ramaquois truly is.

Brian (Alumnus – 39)

Ramaquois is the best thing that happened in my life

(Alumnus)

I cannot begin to express the wonderful atmosphere of Ramaquois. This past summer was my first, and certainly will not be my last. It was amazing to see my campers learn new things and smile everyday. I cherish my memories from last summer and am beyond excited for summer ’13. I’ve found my second home.

Kate (Staff Member)

Even though I started late compared to most in my group (age 11), Ramaquois quickly became my “summer home” in no time. I ended up staying for 10 summers and every time I thought it was my last, I just had to come back. There are no words to describe the memories, the friendships and the laughs I carry with me everyday because of my time at Rama-land. I wish I could still be there today. It all came full circle when I went to visit this past summer with my husband to show him my old stomping ground…nothing will ever compare!!!!

Jamie S. (Alumna – 29)

I am a former camper and counselor. My husband and I met at Ramaquois. Now, we are lucky enough to see the camp through the eyes of our children. We are a 3 generation Rama-Family (my dad worked there, and my mom worked AND went to Ramaquois when it was a sleep-away!) To say the camp is exceptional doesn’t even begin to cover it. Every year it gets better and better. The memories that our children are making will follow them forever. Ramaquois is a special part of our past, present and future!

Jana (Alumna)

My brother and I were campers at Ramaquios a long time ago! I was a camper for 10 years, and then a counselor for 4. I have the most amazing memories of camp Ramaquios!! Now I am grown, and the mom of a 7-year old boy. I still keep in touch with some friends that I made as a camper, and we share many of the same wonderful memories (learning how to water ski on the machine, candies, cook-outs, Rama Games…the list goes on and on). I tell my son about Ramaquios all the time! Thank you so much for the memories!!!

Amy (Alumna – 42)

Ramaquois is my 2nd home I met so many friends I will have forever

Jamie (Camper – 11)

Thanks for helping our son enjoy the trips so much this summer. We think he liked the trip meetings as much as the outings. He never felt so adventuresome as he did at Ramaquois! Natalie and Arthur are a gift to parents. Thank you for another great summer!

George and Anna (Parents)

I love this camp, I also have a friend who would love to come next year and be in camp with me!

Matthew E. (Camper – 10)

I love camp Ramaquois so much!! I love to look at all of the different pictures that were taken at the end of each week:) I had a great first week of camp this week! RAMA 2011 ROCKS!!!!!!

Rachel N. (Camper – 10)

This is my 6th summer at Ramaquois. Every year, I count down until I finally return to my summer home. I love everything from the food and activites to the spirit and friendships that I hold throughout the school year.

Marissa D. (Camper)

My child has been at Ramaquois since the 3rd grade. This is her last year as a camper and she is already depressed about it. As a parent, the worst thing about this camp is that my daughter loved it so much and is so sad about leaving that it pains me to witness it. She tried a couple of sleep-aways a few times and enjoyed it but not enough to give up this camp. This is a great day camp with beautiful facilities. The memories are cherished and priceless. I envy all the new families with kids starting at Camp Ramaquois. It sure goes by way too fast.

J (Parent)

I love camp because there are a lot of fun things to do here I never want to leave

(Camper – 6)

The countdown until camp was always so exciting and once I got there it was even better!

Stefanie (Staff Member – 21)

I would like to thank you very much for providing such a wonderful experience for my son this summer. I am so impressed with the professional, warm and highly spirited atmosphere you have created. Sending Charlie to Ramaquois was one of the best decisions I have made as a Mom, and I have been a Mom for almost 15 years! Everything that I wanted for my son to get out of this summer he did. He was made to feel comfortable and secure. He was well cared for and best of all he had so much fun!

Beth (Parent)

I couldn’t imagine spending my summer anywhere but Camp Ramaquois. I love spending time with my campers, and I have friendships with other staff members. Can’t wait to go back!

Melissa (Staff Member – 23)

2009 will be my 9th summer. I started as a Freshmen in 2001! Since then, I have made unbreakable friendships and I treasure all of the memories I’ve made there. I cannot wait to return for the summer of ’09. Ramaquois is my favorite place on Earth and ever summer spent there is 100 times as spectacular as the last. Everything from the special events to the trips to the amazing counselors. I love Ramaquois and I’ll be coming back for years and years to come.

Joslyn (Camper – 14)

“PRIDE” began as, and “OLD-er Pride” remains to be, the greatest friends and family anyone could ever ask for…

Jordan H. (Alumnus – 42)

Camp really taught me the meaning of friendship. I was always able to keep in touch with my friends and keep them close. I think the fact that I’m still friends and in touch with most of them is a testament to that!

Lili (Alumna – 28)

I was a camper from 1985-1994 and have amazing memories. I have very fond memories of all my wonderful counselors. I’m so glad the next generation can have these memories as well.

Blair (Alumna – 31)

We wanted to thank the entire staff of Camp Ramaquois for providing a wonderful summer for Matthew. This was his fourth summer at Ramaquois and he loved every minute of it.

Shannon (Parent)

Dani (Camper-7)

I had been a camp parent for many years before i became a staff member. i loved the camp as a parent and i love it even more as a staff member.

Jamie (Staff Member)

Ramaquois has been a part of my life for over 35 yrs. I was a camper throughout childhood, then a counselor for the CAPs and Seniors, and today I am a very proud parent of two Ramaquois campers, Sammi and Jake, who LOVE Camp Ramaquois. It is great hearing them talk about their friends and counselors, the trips and all the activities. These days we live in Florida, but Sammi and Jake make it up to visit Grandma and Grandpa every summer and enjoy Camp Ramaquois every summer like I did yrs ago. Arthur and Natalie have a great team in place and I am proud to call them friends as well.

Mike (Alumnus)

My daughter is so excited for the summer! Always a blast at Ramaquois!!

Maria (Parent)

I just wanted everyone to know that Camp Ramaquois was probably the greatest experience I had in my life growing up. I was a camper starting with the Musketeers in 1978 and when I finally “graduated” after my CAPS year, I stayed on as a counselor until I ultimately began law school in 1991. The friends I made during that period are still my best friends in the world, and although my wife doesn’t like it when I tell her that those were the best times of my life, I can honestly say that aside from getting married and watching my 4 children being born and grow up, the time that I had at Ramaquois was by far the best time of my entire life.

Rob (Alumnus)

Camp Ramaquois has been my summer home for 14 years. I can’t even express how much Ramaquois has meant to me. It has helped me grow into the person I am today.

Jon H. (Staff Member – 21)

I love Ramaquois and I can’t wait to go back next year as my 8th summer!!!!!!

Zoe (Camper – 11)

There is not a better place in the world to spend the summer. During those long, endless winter days, I look forward to the beautiful camp grounds, the amazing activities and my countless friends! Ramaquois is my family!

Richard (Staff Member)

Camp still looks great!!

Alumnus

Despite having friends from school and other job experiences, my closest friends are the ones I made while working at Ramaquois. They are the most genuine people I’ve ever met, and I think the shared passion for children and for the camp experience made our connections so much more authentic. I can’t imagine what a summer would be like anywhere else.

Jared (Staff Member – 39)

My son came home every night talking about his amazing counselors. He still mentions them now, 5 months later!

Brenda L. (Parent)

I love Ramaquois so much!! It is the best camp I had ever been too! This is going to be my second year a Ramaqouis and I am so excited. Also,this year I get to go to Hersey Park for one night! I love Ramaquois its the best!!!!!!

I went to Ramaquois for 6 years. Ramaquois has been and always will be my summer home.

I am so happy to see that Cam Ramaquois I still here and even with all the new programs, so much is still the same ! From the Middies to the CAP program, I spent 12+ years at Ramaquois. LOVE it.

Robin (Alumna – 48)

I have spent some of my best summers as a camper at Camp Ramaquois and then went on to become a counselor. I am still friends with the people I met when I was 12 yrs old. It is a place that will always welcome you back with open arms.

Traci L. (Alumna – 29)

I love Camp Ramaquois. I can’t wait for this summer and can’t wait to see you guys! Love, Zachary S.

Zachary (Camper – 7)

Best summers ever and friendships I made in the early 1960′s. Happy to see the tradition lives on.

Paul Martin (Alumnus – 61)

I went to the camp for two months in 1955 when it was a sleepaway camp. I had just turned 5 in April. I was the youngest camper that summer! I still have a picture of myself in a too big camp t-shirt.

This is my fist year and I love it so far!

Matthew B. (Camper – 9)

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for making our daughter’s first summer incredible. As the summer progressed, she came home each day with a bigger smile and more wonderful stories of her day. Between swim, tennis, music and Ramagames, she experienced so much that she enthusiastically embraced.

Mark and Beth (Parents)
