Creativity Without Limits
At Long Lake, campers have 100% freedom to choose the arts they love—or discover new passions. Whether it’s theater, circus, fine arts, dance, music, film, or photography, our non-competitive philosophy ensures that every child feels supported, celebrated, and in the spotlight. There’s no ranking, no pressure—just endless opportunities for expression, skill-building, and pure joy.
A Summer Your Child Will Never Forget
Looking for a summer where every day brings excitement and discovery? At Long Lake Summer Arts Camp, every sunrise is a new adventure. Imagine your child stepping onto a stage for the first time, painting a masterpiece, or diving into the lake with friends—every moment sparks creativity, confidence, and pure joy.
Creativity, Confidence, and Lifelong Friendships
This isn’t just summer camp—it’s where kids ages 8–16 grow, laugh, and discover who they truly are. Last summer, twelve-year-old Alex painted a mural that told the story of his favorite adventures, while his new friends cheered him on. Whether your child loves performing arts, fine arts, or both, they have the freedom to choose what excites them most, all in the stunning beauty of the Adirondacks—with sparkling lakes, green forests, and endless skies.
Why Long Lake? Because Every Child Deserves to Shine
Imagine your child:
- Performing under the spotlight in a theater for the first time
- Mastering circus arts, cheered on by new friends
- Creating a photograph that captures their unique vision
At Long Lake, every camper chooses their own adventure. Campers also enjoy horseback riding, tennis, ATV adventures, and plenty of waterfront fun. With just 225 campers and 145 staff, each child receives personal attention, building skills, confidence, and memories that last a lifetime.
