We understand the connection between playing and learning. That is why all of the programs at YMCA Camp Ingersoll are designed to encourage children to make new friends, learn new skills and spend time with counselors who model the values of caring, honesty, respect and responsibility. Our goal is to ensure all campers have an opportunity to:
Develop self-confidence and self-respect
Grow as responsible members of their families and communities
Form good habits of health and physical fitness
Recognize the worth of all persons
Develop a sense of world-mindedness
Develop their capacities for leadership
Develop an interest in, a knowledge of, and respect for the natural world
All while having FUN!

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.

For over 60 years, Laurel Music Camp has existed for one purpose, "Fellowship Through Music." Those words, often spoken by our founder, Elizabeth "Ma" Sonier still ring true today. In the quiet northwest hills of Connecticut, high school students from all over the state and many others gather one week each summer to share unforgettable experiences through music. The many volunteers who continue to add to the leadership and history of this camp and the annual return of veteran campers are a true testament to Ma's vision. We hope you enjoy your visit to this site and perhaps we will see you June 23-29, 2012 for this summer's camp session!
