"A camp to develop the highest art - the art of living!

 Performing arts camp and Fine arts camp all in one!

Since 1969 Long Lake Camp For The Arts combines a Theater Camp, Music Camp, Dance Camp, Circus Camp, Film Camp and a Fine Arts Camp (with 20 individual Art Studios) all in one magical setting.  You can flourish in any area. With the very best staff, facilities and other great campers to fulfill all your artistic dreams, without sacrificing any one area for the other.

We also have a fantastic fully featured waterfront and a fun exciting sports department because our campers like Land-Sports and Water-Front Fun as well. At Long Lake you can have Water-Fun with Swimming, Skiing, Sailing and Wakeboarding plus all Land Sports around your busy Arts Camp Schedule if you like.

Long Lake is more than a Fine Arts and Performing Arts Camp, it is first a place where our campers come together to make friends, to meet others just like them who want to develop their talents and do not want to compete for parts in a play or wait for guitar lessons or sign up in our Jewelry Studio. At  Long Lake Camp, our campers can take the time to discover new talents and new interests with the support of a nurturing staff and supportive campers.

Long Lake Arts Camp goes beyond the traditional idea of a summer arts camp with a unique non competitive, nurturing program that caters to boys and girls ages 10 to 16 who want to immerse themselves in a performing arts camp and a fine arts camp.  You choose what you want to do in Drama, Acting, Musical Theater, Fine Arts, Dance, Music, Film making, Rock music and Circus, concentrating on what you like best.  By creating your own summer arts camp program you get exactly what you want in rewarding art summer camp fun. We also have a fantastic fully featured waterfront and a fun exciting sports department.  We have over 39 years of operation under the same dedicated family  ownership. Our 145 highly trained staff are handpicked from all over the world and we only have 250 campers per session. Most lessons are one on one and every camper gets individual attention and guidance.

"Long Lake Camp For The Arts, the place to be for individuals to come together and create!"

Our campus, located in  New York state, is a stunning country setting with lush green lawns nestled along the shores of a clear blue lake.  Beautiful fieldstone buildings, professional performance and studio spaces are all a part of the fresh mountain air and views that surround us.  You will be inspired by our extraordinarily gifted and nurturing staff members especially chosen for their unique ability to reach young people.  Professionals, teachers, directors, artists and counselors who are eager to share their knowledge and talents.

 

 

The arts are the core of our program. Our campers experience the opportunities of the adult world without the pressures of time, success, or failure. At Long Lake arts camp you can concentrate on what you  like best! You can experiment in new activities like music, acting, rock guitar, film making or develop existing talents. Only 250 campers come to create an individual program based on their desire for fantastic summer arts fun. They spend their summers focusing on the performing/acting and or fine arts, yet still enjoy a wealth of other opportunities to stimulate the mind and body. We welcome beginners of all ages and  we challenge the most experienced.  Our campers learn from dedicated professionals offering superior guidance and leadership.

Whether singing, acting, painting, dancing or playing an instrument, campers thrive from belonging to a group going in the same direction. Our arts and outing programs are balanced by a variety of field and water sports as well as exciting evening activities. Social activities are not separate events but rather a part of an ongoing process where campers get to know one another in an easy, day to day manner. At Long Lake arts camp every camper has the opportunity and is encouraged to try many new creative activities.

Long Lakers  enjoy our new "RYLEE CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS"  a spectacular auditorium designed specifically for our 18 Musical Theater and Dance Productions and has many spaces for acting classes.  In addition Long Lake has  a 450 seat Theater especially for our 24 Straight Plays, Comedies and Instrumental Performances, along with our "Rays Playhouse" for One Act Plays. There are numerous rehearsal  stages, music studios and over 20 fine artists-in-residence in our New Fine Arts Building ("THE FAB")  helping to make  Long Lake-  the place to be to create and perform among new friends at an arts summer camp.

     

 

There are over 135 hand-picked staff members, working professionals, teacmusic camp, summer camphers or graduate students,  all  chosen for technical knowledge, personal enthusiasm and the unique ability to reach young people. Our campers gain by working daily with talented people, and equally important, learn by taking part in shows and performances each and every weekend.

At Long Lake nature and the arts are complimentary elements. Here is a physical setting on a lake reaching the fabled Adirondack wilderness, and a program bringing exciting opportunities to performing artists, musicians, dancers, acting students. circus performers, rock musicians and visual artists from all over the world.

 

Our beautiful campus is a 200 acre former private estate that kindles our senses to the nature that surrounds us. Lawns slope to sparkling blue water that captures our attention from almost everywhere. Graceful fieldstone buildings have been converted and modernized for your campers use. The timbered part of our property merges with the great Adirondack Park. This is the largest park in the Continental United States,  with deep, dramatic country spanning six million acres with 46 peaks rising high above 4,000 feet.  The setting is spectacular and compliments the creative process of our everyday  lives.

We provide the means to explore exciting new ideas and balance them with traditional summer fun. Everything at Long Lake is offered to the very beginner and will challenge the most experienced. All of our campers want to make life-long friendships and prefer the noncompetitive atmosphere and support that Long Lake has to offer. Since our founding in 1969, Long Lake has been the ideal summer camp offering a rewarding fun- filled summer. The intimate size of Long Lake provides a warm and nurturing environment. Campers benefit most because they feel safe to venture into new activities and grow strong in confidence and new-found abilities.  The accent is on the affirmative. The people who make up our staff are enthusiasts first, as much involved with the technique and doing as the end product.  They are well trained and highly motivated to provide our campers with the best summer arts camp possible.
