Long Lake Camp Unveils Revolutionary New Theater Program for Aspiring Young Actors

• Long Lake Camp launches groundbreaking 2026 theater program led by Broadway professionals with college-credit options for teens serious about acting and stagecraft.

Dobbs Ferry, NY, 2nd January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Long Lake Camp for the Arts, a leading performing and fine arts sleepaway camp, today announced its revolutionary new theater program for summer 2026. Tailored for creative children ages 8 to 16, the program provides hands-on training in acting, drama, musical theater, technical theater, and full productions. Campers gain skills in performance, stagecraft, teamwork, and confidence through daily classes and evening shows.

The program includes access to three theaters equipped for dramas, musicals, and improv. Participants receive one-on-one guidance from experienced staff, many with 10 to 20 years at the camp. Every camper performs in multiple shows, building a portfolio of work.

“Our new theater program empowers campers to take control of their summer while developing real acting abilities,” said a representative of Long Lake Camp for the Arts. “With our 100% self-choice approach and small group sizes, young actors get the attention they need to grow at their own pace in a supportive setting.”

What sets Long Lake apart is the complete freedom in scheduling. Campers select their activities each day with help from Unit Leaders, combining theater with music, fine arts, circus, film, rock bands, dance, or outdoor options like waterfront and sports. The camp limits enrollment to 225 campers with 145 staff, ensuring a better than 1:2 ratio for personalized care. Staff average 21-27 years old, hold degrees, and have extensive experience working with children.

The 2026 sessions include three 3-week options and two 6-week options. Dates are: 3-week sessions from June 28 to July 19, July 20 to August 9, and August 10 to August 30; 6-week sessions from June 28 to August 9 and July 20 to August 30. Pricing is available on the website or by contacting the camp.
