Buck's Rock Camp

Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains in Central Connecticut, Buck's Rock is really like no other overnight summer camp. We are a freedom-of-choice, non-competitive haven where artists ranging in ages from 11 to 16 (going into grades 6th-11th grades) are free to choose their own visual and performing arts projects and activities. Campers are given the freedom to make their own choices in a day, leading them to discover new art forms and engage in hands-on, experiential learning. Working artists and teachers offer world-class instruction in over 30 different arts, including dance, glassblowing, improv, weaving, lighting design, ceramics, and much more. In an environment where they are trusted to take responsibility for their own creative lives, campers flourish and grow into confident young people filled with the potential to make great change in the world. Buck's Rock's unique freedom-of-choice program could not exist without the trust that is extended to our campers. We trust that they will spend their time wisely and productively. We trust that they will make good choices for themselves, and that with the many freedoms, campers will act responsibly, enjoying their liberties and privileges while upholding and abiding by the reasonable guidelines that govern our community. Campers come away from a summer feeling empowered to make thoughtful decisions, and having made friends that will endure for the rest of their lives.
