Cayuga Camp

Camp Cayuga, founded in 1950 and under the dedicated stewardship of the Buynak family for over six decades, is built on a philosophy that extends far beyond a typical summer vacation. Its core mission is to provide a safe, healthy, and profoundly enriching environment where children from diverse international backgrounds can grow artistically, athletically, and socially. The camp is committed to fostering the development of new skills, a deep appreciation for nature, and the seeds of lifelong friendships. This is achieved by emphasizing timeless values such as cooperation, independence, and personal growth, ensuring each child's experience is both joyful and transformative. Strategically designed for optimal engagement, Camp Cayuga's unique advantage lies in its dual-campus structure nestled on over 350 acres in Pennsylvania's Pocono Mountains. This innovative setup allows for age-specific programming on separate Junior and Teen campuses, each with its own facilities, creating a perfectly tailored experience for different age groups. The camp is celebrated for being "just the right size"—large enough to offer an unparalleled variety of over 60 daily elective activities, yet small enough to maintain an intimate, family-like atmosphere where every camper is known individually. This is supported by a highly qualified staff, a 1:4 camper-to-counselor ratio, and a non-competitive, free-choice program model that prioritizes skill-building, safety, and personal enjoyment over competition.
