Girls Entering 6th Grade
Collegians
Girls who are entering 6th grade are excited to be part of Girls’ Side, known as the “Spirit” of Ramaquois. Girls are encouraged to celebrate their individuality and support each other. The Girls’ Side culture allows each camper to become the best version of herself. As campers get older, the Ramaquois program adjusts to accommodate their different interests and skill levels. The Collegians are never bored at Ramaquois!
Girls’ Side
The Spirit of Camp Ramaquois
We wanted 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.

We challenge Girls’ Side campers in athletic, creative, and social ways while feeling supported; these opportunities allow them to take healthy risks, develop self-esteem, increase their competencies, and build confidence in themselves. Girls’ Side is a kind and respectful community that offers its campers real experiences and authentic connections.
A Day in the Life of a Collegian
Sample Schedule
The Collegians program is action packed!. Each day features two water activities, lunch and a balance of athletic and non-athletic activities. Each day, the Collegians have an elective period, allowing them to pursue a passion at camp.
The daily program is supplemented by exciting special events and optional trips, making each day at Ramaquois truly unique!
Community
You Belong at Ramaquois
Children often feel pressure to “fit in.” This can lead to children attempting to change who they are to be more like their peer group. At Ramaquois, campers are encouraged to be who they are. We celebrate each child’s uniqueness. When a child feels a sense of belonging, the pressure to “fit in” disappears - that is the magic of the Ramaquois community.
The Best Role Models
For Ramaquois Staff, It’s More Than Just a Summer Job
Our Girls’ Side staff members do a terrific job of leading our girls to be confident in their abilities to break many stereotypes and stigmas. Staff members are thoughtful and respectful of each camper’s uniqueness. Counselors have the ability to lead with confidence and competence, which allows the campers to become the best versions of themselves.
About Our Staff
Optional Adventure Trip Program
A New Adventure Awaits!
Our older campers can choose from a menu of several different day and overnight trips. Popular destinations include amusement parks, Broadway shows, college visits, white water rafting and much more! Our pre-teens and teens bond during trips led by our experienced administrators and wonderful counselor role-models. Safety is always our top priority - so we always have a very low camper to staff ratio on each trip.
We're proud to be considered
one of the best day camps in New York!
