Lawns slope to sparkling blue water that captures our attention from almost everywhere. Graceful fieldstone buildings have been converted and modernized for our  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 daily life at Long Lake.

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 non-competitive 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.
