Long Lake Camp for the Arts reviews

My daughter has attended this camp for two years now. She loves the Arts program and is always given one on one attention. She has made so many friends and has enjoyed each show she has performed in. The staff is very attentive and the waterfront is beautiful. This place is great and she will continue her summers here.

OMG<--THIS CAMP IS THE GREATEST PLACE EVER! everyone is BEYOND amazingly niice and COOL! there is so much 2 do and once you go, you will wwant 2 keep going back 4EVER!<3 i <3 long lake

I went to this camp and it was AMAZING!! The only thing I didn't was the 5 minute talking on the phone rule and sometimes the food wasn't the best. I wouldn't come here for sports, only if you want to be in performing arts and art things. Overall its a wonderful place, and I would definately recommeded it. This place will always be a great memory.

this is my favorite place in the world. I've found myself, and best friends for life. Cherish every second you spend there, you won't regret it!!

My summers at Long Lake truly made me the person that I am today. It is my my favorite place in the entire world and offered me so many incredible opportunities and experiences that i will be forever grateful for. Each of the Arts programs at Long Lake are spectacular and the performances that are put on are very high quality, and a wonderful time for campers. Long Lake also offers many activities you probably never be able to do elsewhere, like flying trapeze, modern dance, or wakeboarding to mention a few. It is really just an awesome place wether you are a dedicated performer or artist already, or if you are just looking to have some fun for the summer. The people are fantastic, be they camper, counseler, director. Long Lake is truly a wonderful place/

long lake is sooo much fun!! if your going there for the first time the first day isnt that fun, but dont give up because it gets alot better!! the shows are pretty good, circus is like a once in a lifetime opportunity, and they have a lot of arts and craftish thingies that are really fun to do!! omg the best part is the ppl...they are AMAZINGG!! everybody is soooo nice and you make so many new friendships after just 3 or 6 weeks...i love this place!!

long lake is the most amazing place in the entire world! i don't know what you're talking about when you say they ignore people with no talent. i first learned how to sing there! my teacher was nice and not rejecting or anything just because i was inexperienced! furthermore, long lake rocks (literally!) and its totally worth the money (though it is a lot). it has a friendly environment and no one looks down on others or anything. whoever you are and WHEREever you are, if you love singing, dancing, acting, playing music, or even the fine arts, then long lake is most definetly the place for you!

This was the worst experience of my life. Because I am not super talented, I do have a good voice, no one payed any attention to me. On the first day there we had to audition in front of everybody and then you get a callback. I never got any callbacks. In the end a director had to do me a special favor and cast me in a big production where i could be in the backround. And every time i went to the art center none of the teachers would help you they would say do it yourself. And one day i wanted to play softball so i asked the softball person and they are like ya go find the people and the ball and the bat and the bases and start playing. and i am like what??? some kids there have agents and are really snooty. basically i hated it and i am never going back.

LONG LAKE CAMP is the best thing that ever happened too me (well at least one of them)! I love it - the just re-done lakeside is amazing! Actually all the bunks aree, the stages are way better than any school I have ever seen and they actually have good plays that they put on!

While my child attended for several years, last year was the last. The camp promises many fabulous field trips which do not occur. They offer many popular classes/lessons which fill up quickly so many of the campers interested can not participate. If your child is already talented/experienced in an area, they get wonderful attention treatment. If not.... Biggest complaint, however, is with the camp owner/director. When I attempted to speak with him regarding a concern, I basically was told he was not interested and feel free to take my child elsewhere. Speaking with other parents at the local hotel that night, I got a lot of knowing looks/comments as I was in no way the first to have this type of experience. Shows were not that much better than a good local high-school production (but still impressive given short turn-around time) I'm not saying don't send your child here. However, given the amount of $$$ they ask for, proceed with caution..

a great enviornment for the serious arts student. professional staff are excellent teachers. much personal attention- private music lessons and unit leaders for each age group to look after children. very expensive, but you're paying for the staff and activites, not the boarding accomidations or food, which both leave something to be desired. international staff and campers add interest to the mostly wealthy, jewish crowd. mostly non-competitive for parts and such, but older campers can get catty. no sports required, but many enjoy the waterfront. only for the self motivated child though- no one forces kids to do activites. overall, highly recommended
