Usdan’s Classic program provides an immersive arts experience and fosters friendship and shared enthusiasm among young artists in grades 2 through 12. Our program offers instruction by experienced educators and professional artists in five art disciplines—Art, Creative Writing, Dance, Music, and Theater—and three specialty areas—Chess, Nature & Sustainability, and Recreational Arts. All that is needed to attend is an open mind and an excitement for the arts. Students in our Classic program get to create their own camp experience by choosing a two-period Major, a one-period Minor, and a one-period Recreational Activity. Students also see a daily Festival performance by professional and students performers in our 900-seat amphitheater.
