This camp appears to be exactly what we're looking for our children to experience this summer! Not…read moreonly is it rustic, but it is also well organized with tons of activities including: waterfront, recreation, arts & crafts, nature trails, ropes course, gardening, and caring for farm animals. I was very pleased to learn that the focus seems to be on human interaction and outdoor activities. I stopped sending my children to another local summer camp when I noticed campers arriving with electronics, coolers full of food, and camp counselors riding around in several golf carts. These aren't the values or lessons I want my children learning from their summer camp experience. Once our children attend overnight camp for a week this summer, I will update this review with all the details of their stay!

I found this camp through word of mouth and am so thankful I did. It offered the exact camp…read moreexperience I wanted my children to have. Settled in the middle of nature, the atmosphere promotes relaxation and fosters positivity and social interaction without the negative interference of electronics. The camp director, Maria, made my first time without my children for a week, such a positive experience. I sent four children this summer and one did have a very difficult time with home sickness. Maria was AMAZING with how she handled his difficulties, stayed in touch with me and still encouraged my son. I could not have asked for any better of experience for my children and will definitely be sending my children again, and again, and again!!!!

When I was researching things to do in Ithaca I stumbled upon a placed called "Gourdlandia". A…read moreplace dedicated to gourds? I had to check it out and I'm so glad I did. Not too far from town, a bit off the beaten path is Gourdlandia. When I arrived, there were some people weeding in the garden including the owner who warmly greeted us and showed us around the garden explaining the process the gourds go through in order to use them to make artwork. Afterwards we went into the shop and there were beautiful crafted lamps and other items for purchase. I bought a super cute nightlight that I can't wait to use!

It's a small community bouldering gym but a much bigger facility than it looks in the pictures!…read more Very open air facility with a giant ceiling fan and open garage door, which really helps during the summer. Super friendly staff and there's a local community feel to the gym, which is a huge draw. Also, they have a ping pong table, and a stretching/fitness area upstairs with 2 power racks, a fan bike, and a Tension board (if you're looking to mix things up) There's free gravel parking, and plenty of space (unlike Collegetown...)

If you have toddlers age 1-3 make sure you get in the mailing list for there Toddler Time Events…read more Finally an activity for toddlers at an appropriate time. Drive me nuts that kids events don't start until like 10 so was so excited that Cayuga Clinbs Toddler Time is from 8:30 to 9:45 it's the perfect time for a kids activity. The space is great for letting kids runaround and try climbing. My daughter love finding the cow on top of one of the climbing wall every time we go. Sorry if no one else has found it since she doesn't let go of it easily once she finds it. It's reasonably priced $15 per toddler and you don't have to pay for the adults like you would a children's museum but you do have to watch your own kids. My twins get so excited to go, seriously one of the best events for toddlers in the area. Typically twice a month on Sundays but it does not have a consistent schedule so again get on the mailing list so you're informed when the next event will take place.

At DIGIVATIONS@Cornell University, nature isn't a backdrop--it's the stage, the classroom, and the…read moreinspiration for every day's adventures. From the moment students arrive, they are immersed in the natural beauty of Ithaca's Finger Lakes region. Morning workshops often take place outdoors beside Beebe Lake, with its cascading waterfalls setting the tone for creativity and calm. Students write in journals beneath the trees of the Cornell Botanic Gardens, or design science experiments inspired by the micro-ecosystems in the Cascadilla Gorge Trail just steps away. Whether it's mythic storytelling on woodland paths, LARPing through sun-dappled fields, or pausing to reflect beside a quiet stream, campers learn to see nature as both a canvas for their imagination and a partner in their learning. Daily movement is grounded in nature too--campers hike, build temporary outdoor sets for performances, and observe the stars in open-sky astronomy sessions. At DIGIVATIONS, the natural world becomes part of the narrative--where Artemis might guide a quest through the woods, or a physics lesson unfolds in the arc of a skipping stone. Students leave with more than knowledge; they leave with a renewed relationship to the earth and their place in it.
