K-Camp at our Ithaca College Site: K-Camp is for children entering kindergarten in the fall. This camp group will be located at our Ithaca College site in the Circle Apartments Community Center and not at the Coddington Road Community Center location. With the location change, K-campers will still spend the majority of their day outside as camp will have access to the large open fields, sports practice fields, onsite trails and more.

Middle School Camp Group Structure: Middle school campers enrolled will be placed in an existing camp group with similar aged peers. They will have various program choices throughout the day, including some activities specific to their age group. Middle schoolers with at least one year prior camp experience at Camp Coddington AND at least age13 can also choose to enroll as Junior CIT’s (see below).

Junior CIT Program: Middle school campers with at least one year prior attendance at Camp Coddington AND at least age 13 can apply for the Junior CIT program. Junior CITs are placed in a camp group where they will enjoy all the traditional camp activities, while acting in the capacity of a camp volunteer. Due to the age of participants in this program, the youth need to be registered as campers, however we are offering a 50% discount on camp tuition for weeks that the youth participate in the Junior CIT program. There is a limit of 4 Junior CITs per week.
