Buck’s Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp

Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Central Connecticut, Buck's Rock is really like no other overnight summer camp. We are a freedom-of-choice, non-competitive haven where artists ranging in ages from 11 to 17 (going into grades 6th-12th grades) are free to choose their own visual and performing arts projects and activities.

Buck’s Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp, a residential camp in New Milford, CT, offers young people (ages 11-17) a wide range of creative and performing arts. Buck's Rock is an educational institution that has never lost faith in the innate capacity of young people to structure their time intelligently and to use freedom courageously and productively. We believe that young people can best act and work creatively when they choose their activities and are allowed the time they need to pursue them. Thus, at Buck’s Rock, campers are given the freedom of choice to decide for themselves the activities in which they will become involved.

The Performing Arts include: clown, dance, costume, lighting and sound design, music, puppetry, radio, set design, Studio 59 professional recording studio, and theater.

The Creative Arts include: batik, book arts, ceramics, computers, culinary, digital photography, glassblowing, metals, painting & drawing, recycled materials lab, printmaking & silkscreening, publications, recycled materials lab, sculpture, sewing, filmmaking, weaving, and woodshop.

Campers work alongside qualified professional artists and teachers who nurture and support their talents and skills as they perform and create. Each activity has its own area and is equipped to professional standards.

Buck's Rock's community is unique, creative, and diverse, and campers experience an enormous amount of growth and self-discovery in our extremely supportive and nurturing teaching and learning environment. Visit our website to learn more!
