More About Camp
The summer camps of Ballibay Camps, Inc. offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts activities in fun, traditional camp settings. We are located on a beautiful mountaintop in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Established in 1964, American Camping Association accredited.

Major activity areas include: theatre; rock, pop, country, classical & Broadway music; ballet, modern, jazz & tap dance; video & radio; two- & three-dimensional visual arts; photography & technical theater. We also offer horseback riding, swimming, and tennis. Sessions range from 2 to 7 weeks in length. Coed, Ages 6-16.
The Farm Arts Camp:
Harkening back to the original Ballibay Camp of 1964, The Farm focuses on a love of the visual arts and the outdoors. Our major activity areas include: painting, drawing, photography, printmaking, ceramics, horseback riding, nature activities, sports and movement, music and radio, and much more. Campers at The Farm also have access to programs at The Farm’s sister camp, Camp Ballibay. Sessions range from 2 to 6 weeks in length. Coed, ages 6-16.
Endless Mountains Dance Camp:
EMDC is Ballibay's two-week dance intensive for the experienced dancer. Directed by Kristin A. Fieseler, a professor of dance at DeSales University and Artistic Director of Annex Dance Company, EMDC combines the best of professional-level instruction with an understanding of kids, the joy of dance, and a love of nature and the outdoors.
EMDC campers spend most of their day in dance classes and rehearsals, while still having time each day to try other activity areas at Camp Ballibay.
In 2009, EMDC plans to offer traditional dance technique and performance, dance on camera, and training in "non-dance" movement styles. 2-week session. Coed, ages 8-16.
The Rock Farm:
TRF is The Ballibay Camps' 2-week rock intensive. TRF's program offers daily lessons in guitar, drums, and/or bass guitar; songwriting and improvisation classes; staff-directed bands; and great performance and recording opportunities.
Campers spend most of their day in band rehearsals, music lessons, and individual practice time; while still having time each day to try other activity areas offered by Camp Ballibay.
The two weeks include three performances for rock intensive campers: a Band Night in which all staff-directed camper bands perform, a Cabaret in which camper-formed bands can perform, and a Showcase of "unplugged" works-in-progress.
The Rock Farm is offered in two separate two-week sessions. Arrangements may be made for a 5-week session combining both intensives; please contact camp for details. The Rock Farm is coed, ages 8-16.
