Raquette Lake


Outdoor Education Centers logoSUNY Cortland has conducted programs at its Raquette Lake facilities since 1948. The Outdoor Education complex at Raquette lake is comprised of:
Antlers
Camp Huntington
Kirby Camp

Located in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains, these educational sites, situated on opposite shores of Raquette Lake, provide a natural environment unequaled in other parts of the state.

The College’s mission at its Raquette Lake facilities is to “develop in all students an attitude of appreciation for our nation’s natural resources.” At Raquette Lake, students receive knowledge and experience relative to the natural world that will better prepare them to make future environmental decisions.

The Raquette Lake programs are based on a series of required and elective college courses. Students who participate represent a wide gamut of academic disciplines at SUNY Cortland.

Environmentally oriented programs are also offered for participants in continuing education, teacher workshops, graduate courses, research activities, junior high and senior high school classes, alumni and faculty/staff programs. Members from other SUNY institutions use the two facilities as well.
