Camp Ballibay for the Fine & Performing Arts

Established in 1964, Camp Ballibay is an American Camp Association accredited summer camp offering exciting programs in Theater, Art, Music, Dance, Video, Radio & Rock-n-Roll for kids, tweens, and teens

The Farm Arts Camp

Before the developments of Camp Ballibay's strong programs in the performing arts, in the mid-late 1960s and early 1970s, Ballibay's program emphasized the visual arts, horseback riding, and the outdoors. The Farm Arts Camp is a new camp of Ballibay Camps, Inc. that will be very close in activities and structure to the early days of Ballibay, with a stronger emphasis on the visual arts (painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, & ceramics) and traditional camp activities such as horseback riding, boating, outdoor cooking and camping, hiking, and nature study.

The Rock Farm

The Rock Farm is The Ballibay Camps' new Rock Camp experience; Rock-n-Roll for everyone! TRF's program offers lessons daily in guitar, drums, and/or bass guitar; songwriting and improvisation classes; staff-directed bands; and great performance and recording opportunities. TRF is curretnly operating as Camp Ballibay's Rock Intensive.

Endless Mountains Dance Camp

Endless Mountains Dance Camp is the first in a group of proposed dance camps known collectively as Northeast Dance Camps, directed by long-time Ballibay camper, staffperson, and administrator Kristin A. Fieseler, a professor of dance at DeSales University and Artistic Director of Annex Dance Company. EMDC developed out of three elements of Camp Ballibay's dance program: Traditional dance technique and performance, dance on camera, and training in "non-dance" movement styles such as Capoeira, Freerunning/Parkour, and Tai Chi Chuan. EMDC is currently operating as Camp Ballibay's Dance Intensive.
