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. For this summer’s backpacking trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and highlight “Calendar of Events”, or click here.

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. For this summer’s golf trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and click-on “Calendar of Events”, or click here.

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.

DELAWARE RIVER CANOE TRIPS
Delaware River Canoe Trips operate independently of the daily activity program. It’s a 1-day trip reserved for qualified campers. Canoe Trips are scheduled about once every 10 days. Participants are required to have passed Cayuga’s “deep water test” and “canoe test”, and viewed Cayuga’s training video on river safety precautions. Delaware River Trips are voluntary and included in the camp tuition. For this summer’s canoe trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and click-on “Calendar of Events”, or click here.

ARENA FOOTBALL GAMES
Pioneers Arena Football Games are played in Wachovia Arena, which is located in Wilkes-Barre (about 1½ hr from Cayuga). The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Pioneers Football Team are in their 5th season and have a good chance at this year’s AF2 Arena Cup title! Indoor football is loads of fun to watch. This indoor sport is very similar to NFL football with a few exceptions, such as: only 8 team players on the field; most players play on both offense & defense; goal posts are 9 ft. wide (18½’ wide in NFL); there’s four 15-minute quarters; and punting is illegal – the team must go for 1st down or attempt to score. Since the Arena Football season ends in July and most Pioneer games are “away” this summer, Cayuga’s Trip Calendar includes only 1 football game in each half-session. Both games will take place in the evening this summer (“night” games return to camp at approximately 11:00pm). Campers entering 5th grade and higher are eligible to attend. Trips to Arena Football games are voluntary and incur an additional charge. The trip charge includes roundtrip transportation, dinner meal at McDonald’s en-route to the game, and stadium admission. No registration form is required for this optional program. Campers simply sign-up at camp on the day of the football game. For this summer’s trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and click-on “Calendar of Events”, or click here. For details about the trip fee, go to the “Enrollment Information” sign and click-on “Dates & Fees”, 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. For this summer’s pizza party trip dates, go to the “Programs” sign and click-on “Calendar of Events”, or click here.

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
Prior to the arrival of our campers, all Cayuga staff members receive training in off-camp trip procedures, general transportation safety regulations, emergency accident & medical procedures, group management procedures, and have familiarized themselves with Cayuga’s emergency communication plan. 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!
