Frenchwoods Festival of the Performing Arts

French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts is a co-ed sleepaway performing arts camp for children ages 7 to 17, located on more than 1,000 acres bordering a private lake in Hancock, New York, in the Catskill Mountains. The camp follows an individual-choice model: campers may focus on one discipline or sample many. Offerings include theater and musical theater with more than 80 productions each summer across five theaters, tech theater, classical and jazz music, dance, circus, magic, visual arts, film, radio and music production, rock and roll and DJ. Traditional camp activities include waterfront sports, tennis, horseback riding, a skatepark, a challenge course and zip line, fitness and cooking. Campers come from every state and over 40 countries.

Campers may attend any session or combination of sessions. A Counselor-In-Training program is available at discounted rates for campers who have reached their 15th birthday by August 1 and who attend a minimum of two sessions.
