EXCURSION ON THE STOURBRIDGE LINE RAILROAD (SLR)Are you interested in taking this short excursion? Let us know via email (info@campcayuga.com). If we receive posi-tive feedback, we’ll make it happen this summer. Here’s the scoop & a little background. Did you know that Hones-dale is the birthplace of the American Railroad? On August 8, 1929, the SLR became the first commercial steam loco-motive to run on tracks in the Western Hemisphere! The excursion includes a historical narrated train ride along the Lackawanna River. The Tour Guide will talk about the train, its engine & railcars, which have ties to NY & NJ. You’ll also visit the Wayne County Historical Society Museum where a full-size replica of the Stourbridge train is located; the Old Stone Jail; and Temple Beth Israel, built in 1856 as the smallest synagogue in America.” If this excursion sounds cool, let us know, and we’ll work-out the details for this summer. In this case, we’ll inform you of the details via email.

TROPHY - the Camper of the yEAR TROPHY.

Our team (Steve, Dick, Justin) recently completed their bathroom construction project for 2 intermediate boy cabins, and WOW, they look awesome! The bathrooms are much larger, and feature 3 showers (they’re larger too!), 3 private toilet stalls, and 5 sinks. There’s more mirrors, more lighting, more shelves, and 5 more windows (great for ventilation). It also has a walk-in closet. Right now the crew is renovating the Program Office (Happy Hut), and will soon be installing more flood lights throughout Teen Campus.

WHAT’S HAPPENING AT CAMP?
