CAMP CAYUGA
WAZ-UP NEWSLETTER
Back to School Edition
Thank You Campers
First of all, we’d like to start off this newsletter by
saying “thanks” to all Cayuga campers and staff
for their awesome camp spirit this past summer.
YOU ARE THE BEST
and we thank you for making SUMMER 2016
one of our best summers ever!
Yes indeed, it was a GREAT SUMMER... our
campers had a lot of fun & made a lot of friends,
AND our staff members were 100% dedicated to
insuring we each had a positive, fun-filled
experience. You all did an excellent job, and we
thank you again for the wonderful memories
we’ll cherish for a very long time.
NEW FOR 2017
Right now, we’re researching several new ideas, and
asking all campers to help us! There’s a section on
the “After-Camp Questionnaire” where you can give
us your opinion on what we should add for 2017. We
can’t wait to hear what you want to see at camp next
year! As we collect ideas we will keep you informed.
Thanks gang!
We’ve already received suggestions like foil fencing
and internet-based programs like blogging and
updating the Cayuga media sites (facebook, twitter,
instagram, etc.)
CAMP CAYUGA... IT LASTS A LIFETIME!
We Need Your
Feedback!
Well, from the feedback we’ve received to date, this past
summer will be remembered for making lifetime
friendships, having fun, and enjoying the wide variety of
activities. Naturally, it’s satisfying to learn that our hard
work paid off, but more importantly, at this time we’re
looking for your opinion on areas that can be improved.
That is, how can we make Cayuga better for you
and other campers in the future?
We can’t improve something we don’t know about, so
please let us know where we are falling short. Of course,
if you’d like to tell us where we’re doing a good job,
that’s helpful too! Our Camp Directors review all
questionnaires and take into account each comment
when planning for next season. So please all campers
and parents, give us your feedback!
TO COMPLETE YOUR ONLINE AFTER-CAMP
QUESTIONNAIRE, login to your account, click “Forms &
Documents” and then click “After-Camp Questionnaire.
- Online Version.” If you prefer to print out the questionaire, click “After Camp Questionaire - PDF Form.”
Thanks for your time - your opinion counts!

CAYUGA OLYMPICS
The Olympic Champion this year was the country of Finland! Congratulations for a “job well done.” You guys
were awesome! And a “hats-off” to Australia, the runners-up in this summer’s Annual Olympics. This year’s
Olympics was loaded with both competitive and goofy events like the egg toss, water balloon toss, egg
volleyball, tug-of-war, cross country relay race, and of course the final closing ceremony. Congratulations to
all teams for your hard work, sportsmanship, and amazing camp spirit!
