OUR GUARANTEE TO FIRST-TIME CAMPERS Everyone has fun at Camp Cayuga - that’s our promise to you! We specialize in first-time campers and back-up our promise with “Cayuga’s First-Time Camper Guarantee”. Our 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!

OUR 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 2 or 3 cabin counselors. Our youngest counselor is entering his sophomore year of college. There is no Junior Staff Program at Cayuga. Our Division Directors assist the cabin counselors, and will frequently communicate with our campers' parents when deemed necessary. In addition, there are over 40 Senior Staff Members who direct and supervise various areas of the camp's program, and stand ready to work with your child on a one-to-one basis to make his/her summer camp experience a successful one.

TEEN CAMPUS & JUNIOR CAMPUS Cayuga's natural landscape divides 350 acres into two separate campuses on the same estate. With two separate campuses, we can provide two separate programs geared to the different age groups on each campus. Teen Campus is reserved exclusively for teenagers who are entering 8th to 10th grade. Junior Campus houses campers entering 1st to 8th grade who are 13 years old or younger.
