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 at least 2 cabin counselors. Our youngest counselor is entering their sophomore year of college. There is no Junior Staff Program at Cayuga. The staff/camper ratio is 1 to 4.

ACTIVITY PROGRAM:
Campers, entering 5th grade & higher, select their own activities each morning after breakfast. Campers can sign-up with their friends, so they can attend the same activities together that day. Younger campers travel together as a “cabin group” to activities under the direct supervision of their counselor. Flexible Sessions: 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks.

TEEN PROGRAM:
Cayuga’s property is divided into 2 campuses. Teen Campus is reserved exclusively for teenagers. It houses campers entering 8th to 10th grade who are 13 years old (or older) before arriving at camp. Junior Campus houses campers entering 1st to 8th grade who are 13 years old or younger.

Our 50+ senior staff members are adult professionals who assume supervisory responsibilities in camp and at least 90% return every summer. Our in-cabin counselors are college-enrolled staff members who return at a rate better than 50%. Ninety percent of our staff are Americans who are recruited across the United States for their skills, experience and ability to work with children. All staff members are interviewed, references contacted and criminal background checks performed. During our pre-camp orientation period staff members are certified in safety procedures, qualified for instructional responsibilities and trained in providing the supportive, nurturing camp atmosphere that has characterized Camp Lohikan since its beginning.

CAMP MISSION: Our mission is to provide the staff, the program and the supportive camp environment that will enhance the camper's artistic, athletic and social skills and, with positive encouragement and reinforcement, develop in the camper a greater sense of self esteem and self confidence.

MEDICAL STAFF: A camp physician is in residence the entire summer. In addition to the camp doctor, 5 registered nurses and 3 assistants staff the camp health center which is open 24 hours a day. Our 52 year safety record is impeccable.
