Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts

Whether your kids’ creativity manifests on stage, on paper or in a different medium entirely, Usdan
allows campers to curate a program that is right for them. Each summer, the team brings in professional artists—actors, directors, playwrights, painters, sculptors, musicians, dancers, poets, the works—to teach and collaborate with campers ages 5 to 18. Children choose a major and minor to fill their days at the beautiful Wheatley Heights campus, with options that include ballet or hip-hop for dancers, musical theater and game-heavy actor’s craft for thespian as well as classes in metalworking, archery, organic gardening and LEGO design for kids who want to work with their hands. Ages 5–18.
