About Usdan Summer Camp for
the Arts
Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2018, Usdan Summer Camp
for the Arts (usdan.org) is the nation's preeminent
not-for-profit day camp for the arts and has been named a "Best Of"
camp by TimeOutNY/Kids, and by NY Metro Parents.
Diverse and playfully rigorous from the start, Usdan brings
world-class teachers and visiting artists – actors, directors,
playwrights, painters, sculptors, musicians, composers, dancers,
poets and novelists – to teach and collaborate with Usdan campers
ages 4 to 18. Usdan ignites each child's artistic spirit in a fun,
welcoming environment. We believe art making is brave making,
friend making, freedom making and future making.
Usdan is an agency of the UJA-Federation of New York. All programs will take place at
the camp's magnificent 140-acre woodland campus, located at
185 Colonial Springs Road in Wheatley Heights, NY
11798.
