OUR GUARANTEE TO FIRST-TIME CAMPERS
Camp Cayuga’s First-Time Camper Guarantee provides for a full prorated tuition refund to any first-time camper departing prior to the conclusion of his or her registered session. That is, we will refund the excess of tuition after deducting the ordinary charges for the period your child remained in camp.  That's a promise! 

 

COUNSELORS & SENIOR STAFF

Our success with first-time campers is directly related to the quality of our staff.  Each camper is under the close care and direct supervision of at least 2 cabin counselors.  Our youngest counselor is entering their sophomore year of college.  (There is no Junior Staff Program at Cayuga.)  The Division Director assists the cabin counselors and works with all of the campers in his/her division.  In addition, there are 35 Senior Staff Members who direct our program areas and stand ready to work with your child on a one-to-one basis to make his/her summer camp experience a successful one.

 

ACTIVITY PROGRAM
Campers, entering 5th grade & higher, select their own activities each morning after breakfast.  Campers can sign-up with their friends, so they can attend the same activities together that day. There are over 60 different activities offered every day!  Cayuga’s Elective Program provides campers the opportunity to explore their individual interests and pursue those interests he/she finds most challenging.  Campers, entering 4^th grade & lower, participate in the Junior Activity Program.  Each Junior cabin is provided with its own weekly activity schedule, which is geared to the age and gender of the cabin group. The schedule is different each day of the week!  Campers travel together as a “cabin group” to activities under the direct supervision of their counselor.
