How Campers Get Everything They Want?
Getting everything you want at Long Lake Camp For The Arts is easy. Long Lake was created so each camper is in control of their schedule with our help and guidance. Nobody is excluded, if campers want to act in show, you’re in, join the circus, easy, perform in the dance show, no problem, paint all day-done. no matter your age, 8 to 16 they have full access and choice. Campers can combine any of our activities in an unlimited number of ways during our 7 daily one hour activity periods.
Simple Steps to our campers perfect summer…
- Make sure we can offer all the activities your child loves by either calling us, watching our videos or looking over our website and list of activities here.
- Campers tell us at camp what they would love to do, we make sure they get started right away.
- Done! It’s that easy. (Because we have over 50 years of experience, Unit Leaders and 140 staff making sure!)
What happens when campers arrive at camp…
- The arrival day is saying hello, making new friends, eating great food and meeting the staff you will live with. We have a great fun ice cream party the first night with music, laughter, weird ice cream toppings and blossoming friendships. There is a bunk meeting so you get to know who you are living with and how you create the most amazing summer together.
- The day after you arrive you stay with your bunk mates and you are introduced to every activity, building and staff on camp. We empower you how to get what you want from camp. Right away you can tell us what you would like to do. For Theater, Dance and Circus we hold auditions to help us cast you in the perfect role. Our auditions are very fair and created to help every camper do their best. We choose based on what we see that day and it does not matter if this is your first summer or 5th summer at Long Lake. To learn more about our unique Audition process follow this link.
- On the second day, activities start and we have theater call backs to help us make great casting decisions. You can right away start enjoying the activities you are excited about and think about trying new ones. If you are ever stuck just ask your Unit Leader and they will help you.

We have a dedicated group of staff called Unit Leaders and they are there to make sure you are getting everything you want every day, found our more about unit leaders here.
- Some activities like rehearsal you will do everyday on a set schedule, most other classes you can choose do daily or once per week. We do expect commitment from every camp when you are cast in a production but for your own individual projects your schedule is flexible.
All our campers need to do is speak up, tell us what they want and it will happen. Please call us so we can start to create your campers perfect summer. 914 693 7111
