Outings Program Ithaca

It may feel like fall, but we’re still thinking about the awesome camping trips Outings Programs took over the summer! ⛺ We wrapped up one Trailblazers program with a 4-day, 3-night camping trip to Darien Lake State Park, onboarded a new Trailblazers group with a 3-day, 2-night camping trip to the Fingerlakes National Forest Potomac Campground, and our Explorers group experienced a 5-day remote camping trip in Schoharie County. That's a lot of camping and a lot of fun!

One of our most popular classes is Airborne Adventures, a 5-week tree climbing program for participants aged 5 - 11, where they learn the ins and outs of tree climbing. Using harnesses, helmets, and ropes to climb trees youth love seeing the world from a higher point of view!

Did you know we offer Outdoor Adventure Programs through Community Pass? All youth in Tompkins County can participate in these fun and exploratory programs, like ARTventure, Tree Climbing, Wildfire, and Into the Woods. These programs primarily focus on learning program basics, techniques, and leadership development while creating a culture of belonging and acceptance.
