The Adventure & Wilderness Program utilizes 350 secluded acres of unspoiled hardwood and evergreen forestland, embellished with fields, streams, and a nature stream-fed lake. Campers are provided the opportunity to explore Cayuga’s beautiful natural surroundings, which still remain rich in wildlife since the area was first occupied by the Cayuga Indian Tribe over 300 years ago. Our program fosters in children the appreciation of nature and the outdoors. Whether you are mountain biking on scenic wooded trails or relaxing around a campfire with your friends, you’ll gain an appreciation for the outdoors and have fun too!
