Youth programs and summer camp

In CAU's youth and teen programs, offered weekly from July 7 to August 3, 2013, youngsters get a taste of college life at Cornell while experiencing the fun and friendships of a terrific camp.

Supervised by caring, trained counselors, your child will enjoy

  • well-organized activities,
  • stimulating field trips,
  • kid-friendly meals, and
  • a chance to explore our beautiful campus.

This nationally acclaimed summer educational experience also features the highest staff-to-youth ratio in day camping.

Residential campers participate in youth activities during the day and enjoy supervised evening activities and entertainment. Children ages 3 to 12 must be accompanied by a registered resident adult; teens may be in residence without a registered resident adult. Download the youth section of the CAU catalog.

Commuter campers participate in daytime programs (from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. for children ages 3-12 and 8:30 to 10:00 p.m. for teens) Monday through Friday. Download the commuter youth brochure.
