Overview
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 low-key, non-competitive haven where aspiring teen artists are free to choose their own visual and performing arts projects and activities.
Campers are given the freedom to make their own choices in a day, leading them to discover new art forms and engage in hands-on, experiential learning. Working artists and teachers offer world-class instruction in over 30 different arts, including dance, glassblowing, improv, weaving, lighting design, ceramics, and much more. In an environment where they are trusted to take responsibility for their own creative lives, campers flourish and grow into confident young people filled with the potential to make great change in the world.
