MORE TRIPS

BACKPACKING TRIPS
Backpacking Trips take place at Ricketts Glen State Park which is located less than an hour from Cayuga. The Park boasts a series of wild, free-flowing waterfalls, including “Ganoga Falls” that's 94 feet high! Ricketts Glen is one of the most scenic areas in Pennsylvania. It's a fun 2-day trip of hiking, sightseeing, and camping-out! Backpacking trips are optional and camper participation is voluntary. All campers are eligible to attend as long as you're deemed physically mature to hike the terrain. You're required to supply your own sleeping bag, hiking boots & water canteen (or sports bottle). All other necessary items & equipment (backpacks, energy snacks, food, etc.) are provided by Camp Cayuga. Backpacking Trips are scheduled about once a week and are included in the tuition. No advance registration form is required. If you want to go, you simply sign-up in the morning on the day of the trip.

GOLF COURSE TRIPS
Trips to the local golf course for a round of golf (9 holes) are scheduled about once a week. We play at Cricket Hill Golf Course, which is located about 30 minutes from camp. One Cayuga staff member is assigned to each foursome. Camp Cayuga supplies the golf clubs/bags and golf balls. (You are permitted to bring your own golf clubs to camp.) Golf trips are optional and incur an extra charge. All campers are eligible to participate as long as you’re deemed qualified to play on a public golf course. No advance registration form is required. You simply sign-up in the morning on the day of the golf trip.

CABIN LEAGUE TRIPS
One of the highlights of Cayuga’s Trips Program is the Cabin League Winner’s Trips. During the daily activity and evening activity programs, cabin groups are awarded “cabin league points” for their spirit, enthusiasm, and participation. At the end of each half-session, the cabin group (one from each campus) with the most league points is awarded this special trip! In the past, our Cabin League Winners have enjoyed day-trips to: Cooperstown’s Baseball Hall of Fame, Costa’s Family Fun Park, & White Water Rafting Trips, to name a few. Our Cabin League Winners look forward to this trip! They’re fun trips and included in the camp tuition.

NEW YORK CITY TRIPS
Trips to New York City, the “Cultural Capital of the World”, begin at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum where you’ll get up-close and personal with A-list celebrities, sports legends, political heavyweights and historical icons, and relive the times, events and moments that made the world talk about them. Following your tour of the museum, we’ll eat lunch and take-in a show at the Minskoff Theatre. This year we will see the landmark musical event, “THE LION KING”. This show will entertain you with pulsing spectacles driven by primal African rhythms, unforgettable tunes, and a jaw-dropping display of exotic African wildlife brought to life onstage. Following the show, you’ll enjoy dinner at the World Famous Planet Hollywood restaurant. Planet Hollywood offers an extensive Hollywood memorabilia collection, featuring props from blockbuster movies and classic TV shows, while the diverse menu offers all of your favorites.

CANOE TRIPS & RAFTING TRIPS
Canoe Trips and Rafting Trips take place on the Delaware River and are scheduled about once a week.  It’s a one-day trip reserved for qualified campers who have passed Cayuga’s “deep water test” and “canoe test”.  Canoe Trips are included in the camp tuition.  Rafting Trips incur an additional charge.  For Canoe Trip/Rafting Trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and click-on “Calendar of Events”, or click here. 

PIZZA PARTY TRIPS
Pizza Party Trips are reserved for our cabin inspection winners. At the end of each week, the cleanest boy’s and girl’s cabin from each campus is awarded a pizza party at the local pizzeria in Honesdale (10 minutes from camp). Our campers enjoy this short trip to town (and it’s a great motivator for keeping our cabins clean)! Pizza Party Trips are included in the camp tuition.

VISITING DAY MYSTERY TRIP
Campers, who are not expecting visitors, are required to attend the Visiting Day Mystery Trip.  The only excused children are those who have written parental permission to remain at camp with an authorized adult.  It's an action-packed full-day trip that will keep you smiling.  We depart camp before 10:00am (when Visiting Day begins) and return to camp after 4:00pm (when Visiting Day is over).  This trip is not included in the camp tuition.  The trip fee includes roundtrip transportation, lunch meal, and admissions.  For trip fee information, go to the "Enrollment Information" sign and click-on "Dates & Fees", or click here.

ALL CAMP TRIPS

Cayuga follows the trip guidelines set forth by the American Camping Association (ACA) and has exceeded their standards on every inspection. We are committed to the highest safety standards established for the camping industry and are proud to operate an accredited ACA camp. Safety is #1 at Camp Cayuga!
