Mass Program

This one-day, all camp program revolves around a central theme. Your team could be competing to be the champion professional wrestler, the medieval conqueror that gains the most land, or the stranded passengers that make it off the island. Camp is broken into 3-5 teams, allowing for everyone to create closer bonds outside of their village. Campers and staff compete in various team, group, and individual challenges to gain points and reign supreme.

Fight Song

Over the course of a week, each village writes and learns a medley of song parodies written about camp. At the end of the week, each village performs their “Fight Song” in front of the rest of camp and a panel of staff judges. Each village bonds as they learn the music and choreography and make costumes for the performance, but only one village can win Fight Song.

Big Brother/Big Sister

Campers in Cayuga and Onondaga are paired with a big brother or sister Senior Camper, who will serve as their friend and mentor throughout the session. There are specific evening programs that brothers and sisters will do together, as well as designated meals throughout the week where they get to eat as a family. As Senior Campers continue on at camp, many get the chance to be a counselor for a camper that used to be their little brother or sister!

Color War

The most recognizable program at CSL, Color War has grown to be the favorite competition for many campers and staff. This intense two-day, two-team program involves a little something for everyone with varying activities across all of our program areas. Color War creates opportunities for each team to engage in exciting and action packed competition with a focus on teamwork, creativity, sportsmanship and ruach (spirit).
