Youth Programs

Youngsters in CAU's summer program get a wonderful taste of college life while exploring the resources of our great university and enjoying the fun and friendships of a terrific camp.

Start with days and evenings filled with well-organized educational and recreational activities to suit every child's or teen's interests. Mix in caring, experienced counselors, kid-friendly meals in our dining hall, and a beautiful campus to explore. It all adds up to a terrific time at Cornell. Parents, grandparents, and family friends have told us that after one week, their kids don't want to go home!

Teens can attend overnight with or without their families on campus or as teen commuters. Children 12 and under attend CAU overnight only with their parents or on their own as commuter day-campers. See "Commuter Youth Daycamp" section or call the CAU office for details and prices.

If you have questions, please contact CAU. To encourage family participation, we offer a reduction in fees for the second and fourth youngsters accompanying a registered, resident adult. See On-Campus Program Fees and Housing for details.
