Serious fun. Serious gaming.

This weekend is devoted entirely to the fun of games. Although there is some learning that takes place as you discover tricks to modding your characters, or how to tweak your settings while you overclock your machine, this weekend is about getting your game on! And on, and on!

Your Games...Your Play.

You guide the games you play at Weekend Gamerz. Want something a little less wired? No problem, we’ll have plenty of board and card games available for un-plugged entertainment.

Since 1942, Buck's Rock camp has remained an educational institution for the Performing and Creative Arts that has never lost faith in the innate capacity of young people to structure their time intelligently and to use freedom courageously and productively. Buck's Rock Performing and Creative Arts Camp provides campers the freedom to choose their activities on a daily basis, and a supportive, non-competitive environment in which to explore their interests. Campers work along side qualified professional artists and teachers who nurture and support their talents and skills as they perform and create. Each activity has its own area and is equipped to professional standards. We believe that young people can best act and work creatively when they choose their activities and are allowed the time they need to pursue them.

Activities:
The Performing Arts include: music - featuring orchestral, jazz, ensembles, choral, rock, percussion, recording studio and private instruction, theater, musical theater, dance, clowning and improvisation, and stand up comedy. The Creative Arts include, among many others, glassblowing, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, photography, sewing, painting, printmaking, weaving, bookarts, publications and creative writing, computers and video. There are also ample opportunities for campers to take part in activities such as sports, swimming, spelunking, animal farming, horseback riding, etc. Campers work along side qualified professional artists and teachers who nurture and support their talents and skills as they perform and create.

Camp Location:
Buck's Rock Camp, located in New Milford CT., is situated on 125 acres of deeply wooded forests only 75 miles from New York City. Buck's Rock is located in the heart of many cultural facilities.
