Picture your child under the stage lights, belting out a big number. Many families exploring New York theatre summer camps dream of that moment. Here is how our musical theater program makes it real in Summer 2027.
Full-Scale Shows, Real Stages
We stage more than 30 productions each summer. Our musical theater program runs across four professional theaters. Casting is based on interest, effort, and fit, and no audition is needed to join us.
A professional team supports every show. Our staff includes a musical theater director with experience from London, New York, and Los Angeles. Dance instructors teach movement and characterization.
Shows range from big musicals to plays and comedies. Recent seasons have featured Les Misérables, Matilda, and Shrek The Musical. Our productions use designed costumes, planned lighting, and a professional sound system.
Scripts, Songs, and Choreography
Campers bring a show to life from three angles. They learn lines and scenes. They sing in ensembles and take vocal lessons. They rehearse choreography until it feels natural.
Acting labs, scene work, and improv
Vocal lessons and singing ensembles
Dance and choreography sessions
Group projects such as set design and collaborative performances
Collaboration is at the heart of it. Campers learn to communicate and support each other. Peer-reviewed research on a drama training study in children has looked at skills like empathy and teamwork.
Why Families Choose Long Lake Camp for the Arts for Musical Theater
At Long Lake Camp for the Arts, your child builds a schedule from more than 60 activities. Parents looking for summer theatre camps in New York like that freedom. A camper can add art, rock bands, or the lake.
Some kids prefer backstage. Our technical theater program lets them run lights, sound, and sets. Everyone has a place in the show.
The arts also help social growth. K-12 Dive reported on research linking theater experiences to empathy and perspective-taking in students. Our campers practice both every day.
Each day is flexible. A camper might start with a vocal lesson, then rehearse a scene after lunch. Evenings bring shows, showcases, and time with friends.
A Supportive Stage for Every Level
At Long Lake Camp for the Arts, musical theater is part of a summer filled with opportunities to create, perform, and connect with other young artists. Campers can develop their skills while experiencing what it feels like to be part of a production from beginning to end.

For summer 2027, we look forward to filling our stages with stories, songs, movement, and young performers ready to bring them to life. Whether your camper already loves theater or is ready to step into the spotlight for the first time, there is a place for them at Long Lake in New York.
