Camp Ballibay

Camp Ballibay is a true haven for young people with a love for the arts, and a perfect choice for families seeking a safe, friendly, and creative arts camp for their kids to explore the visual arts, dance, theater, or rock music.

We offer deep, engaging programs for young artists at all levels in a traditional summer camp setting. Young artists ages 8-16 come from all over North and South America, Europe, and Asia to spend 2-7 weeks on our pristine mountaintop campus in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Established in 1964, we have a long history as a diverse, tolerant, and safe camp for creative kids. Since 2011 we’ve been the #1-rated arts camp in North America, and in 2021 we were named one of the 9 best arts summer camps in the US.

Campers have the freedom to explore a wide range of activities without being restricted to specific 'concentrations' or 'majors.' Our individualized scheduling system allows each camper to participate in as many program areas as they choose. 

Our program areas include:
• Theater
• Musical Theater
• Visual Arts
• Rock
• Dance
• Technical Theater
• Film and Media
• Horseback Riding
• Outdoor Education
• Food Education
• Creative Writing
+ more!
