Sit down, grab a snack, and get ready to hear about the most hands down unbeatably best place on planet Earth. Let me start off saying that when I come here, I desperately long for Monday and absolutely DREAD Friday because of how great a place this is. They have everything you want and need to have fun. You don’t even have to step on the bus to feel the love, the camp calls months in advance to make sure that everyone’s needs are fulfilled, in my case, I always get pasta for lunch since it is mainly my diet. When you get on the bus in the morning, the bus counselor(s) greets you openly with a smile and everyone on the bus gets along. When you arrive to your group, everyone in your group is inclusive and instantly becomes great friends that you will know for years to come! I met my best friend here at this camp. Their 8 day schedule gives a diverse range of activities based on age. The three sides of camp, Boys side, Girls side, and Junior camp engage the campers to various activities and friendly rivalries. On the last day I always cry the bus ride home because I never want to leave; which is why everyone keeps coming back. This is my 8th summer here, along with a large portion of my group, we know each other well and our previous counselors are friendly faces. Older campers are placed in Upper camp, which provides more activities such as Bunt and Steal, the Boys softball league, and Snaps, which is a multi sport program for the girls with the same concept. For the oldest (15 year old) campers, they go into the counselor apprenticeship program, or CAPs. They are part time counselors who work with groups, specialty, and events to transition into being a part of the staff. Every day is a special event for at least one age group, or division, to provide even more fun variation for campers to enjoy. The counselors see what each camper needs, and already know them before they step foot on camp to provide a safe, loving, and caring space for all. Campers are cared about so closely, the camp director Jared knows the name of all the 1000s of campers at Ramaquois. It may seem overpriced or like I am exaggerating, but I am not. This is the best place for anyone to be, nothing will EVER convince me otherwise. Google only lets me put down 5/5 stars, but in reality it is at least 17.4/5 stars.
