French Woods Festival Of The Performing Arts

Underneath a sapphire New York sky, the French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts awaits. It's a sanctuary that harmoniously blends vivid artistic expression and energetic physical activity into a symphony of summer fun. Catering to kids aged 7 to 17, this exceptional camp boasts a multiplicity of activities—ranging from majestically arching a tennis shot, belting a rock and roll anthem while backed by a live band, to skillfully spinning on a skateboard. Its gamut of options is truly expansive. At French Woods, every camper plays the conductor to the orchestra of their own experience—hand-picking which pursuits they indulge in. The seasoned staff, a veritable global family, takes pride in guiding their young impresarios on their chosen paths, whether one is an aspiring Broadway star, a budding Olympic athlete, or if culinary journeys are more suited to their tastes. The camp’s brilliantly diverse program is renowned, especially with respect to dance, theater, music, sports, and water-based activities. While the younger ones bask in careful guidance, older campers are encouraged to stretch their wings a bit—taking up roles that foster responsibility and leadership. Finally, the idyllic location of the camp is icing on the cake. Tucked away near a private lake, this little slice of summer paradise rivals the charm of the Delaware River. As the sun sets over the western Catskill Mountains, French Woods emanates an unforgettable warmth—a testament to its long-standing tradition of nurturing the talents and spirits of children, one summer at a time.
