The Performing Arts Program provides an opportunity for self-expression in a variety of different ways. Whether you’re acting in a skit or performing in the talent show, our staff will encourage you to express yourself in the style you feel most comfortable. Our performing arts program focuses on: drama, dance, and music.

DRAMA PROGRAM

The Drama Program includes Improv Clinics that offer instruction in basic acting techniques. These clinics are offered throughout the summer, and campers entering 5th grade and higher are eligible to sign-up. Our Evening Activity Program affords many opportunities for acting and performing on stage with scheduled events like: Stars in your Eyes, Big Talent Show, Cabin Skit Night, Lip Sync Battle, MTV night, and more.

DANCE PROGRAM

The Dance Program features instruction in modern dance, yoga, zumba, and aerobics. These classes are offered as a daily elective activity for campers entering 5^th grade and higher. The girl’s junior division is scheduled to attend dance/aerobics classes with their cabin group twice a week. If you’re a dance enthusiast, you’ll be happy to learn that dance socials are frequently scheduled throughout the summer.  

MUSIC PROGRAM

The Music Program offers instruction in guitar, drums, and keyboards. You can also find in our music room a trombone, trumpet, tambourines, bongos, and maracas. Campers don’t need to bring their instrument to camp. If you enjoy singing, you can sign-up for our choir activity, or for laughs you can sing your favorite song at our ‘karaoke lunches’. Musicians and singers have plenty of opportunities to perform on stage during evening activities like the ‘Big talent show’ and ‘Stars in your eyes’.

THEATRE TRIPS

Do you enjoy going to the theatre? Trips are scheduled every two weeks to the Forestburgh Playhouse, which has earned a fine reputation for its youth theatre productions. Their plays include ‘the classics’, which have proven to be very popular with our campers. Forestburgh Playhouse was founded in 1947 and is the oldest continuously operating summer theatre in New York. It’s located about an hour from camp. To attend a theatre production, tell your Division Director or sign-up during the elective sign-up period in the morning. Advance registration is not necessary. Theatre trips are optional and not included in the tuition. For playhouse trip dates, go to Calendar of Events.
