Long Lake Camp for the Arts

Long Lake Camp Way, on the shore of Long Lake. The camp's distinguishing feature is the program structure: campers build their own week from a menu that runs across performing arts, visual arts, sports, and waterfront, rather than getting assigned to a single track. That's the operational difference from a sports-focused or a single-discipline camp. The performing arts side is wide. Theater, musical theater, acting, improv, dance, music, rock bands, and circus arts cover the front of house. Technical theater and filmmaking cover the back of house, which lets a kid who wants to design lights instead of perform them stay in the same program. Visual arts run on a parallel track with painting, drawing, and crafts. The sports and watersports side is real (not a token addition), which is the way mixed-interest families keep both kids happy. The published photo galleries show frequent performances and art shows across the session calendar, which means the work product is visible rather than hidden behind a curtain. Best for arts-leaning kids who don't want to spend the summer doing just one thing. Summer-session enrollment only.
