Girls Entering 8th Grade
Senior Varsity
Girls who are entering 8th 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. Senior Varsity girls are considered part of “Upper Camp” and enjoy many engaging camp programs, including our unique SNAPS League. As campers get older, the Ramaquois program adjusts to accommodate their different interests and skill levels. Senior Varsity girls are never bored at Ramaquois!
Girls’ Side
The Spirit of Camp Ramaquois
I have made unbreakable friendships and I treasure all of the memories I’ve made at camp. Ramaquois is my favorite place on Earth. 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.

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 Senior Varsity Girl
Sample Schedule
The Senior Varsity program is action packed!. Each day features seven age-appropriate activities, including lunch and a balance of athletic and non-athletic activities. Each day, the girls 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!
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.
A Place for Older Girls
Upper Camp Girls’ Side is a special place at Ramaquois. Here, camp friendships and shared experiences are celebrated. Participation in the Upper Camp SNAPS League is a highlight for our older campers. SNAPS instills in our campers the importance of Spirit, Novelty, Attitude, Participation and Sportsmanship. These five qualities also describe the culture of Girls’ Side. New friends are warmly welcomed and quickly become a part of Upper Camp family.
We're proud to be considered
one of the best day camps in New York!
