Each summer our counselors bring wonderful and often unexpected talents to camp in addition to our usual program offerings. We invite our counselors to teach in all of their areas of expertise, and we make time in their schedule so they can do so daily. Frequently we offer classes in many or all of these areas: Creative Writing, Sign Language, Juggling, Puppetry, Fabrics, Jewelry, Sculpture, and Meditation. Our international staff members often enjoy offering introductory classes in their native languages.
Additionally, The Farm is at the heart of six sister camps for the fine and performing arts. It is the original 1964 camp of the Ballibay Camps. All the camps have unique and distinct programs, but also have an overlap of staff, facilities, and resources.
Through this close relationship, campers attending The Farm can also take advantage of activities at the other camps. If everything about The Farm seems perfect except (for instance) that there's no tap dance, a camper can easily take tap classes at Camp Ballibay.
Some of the activities available to campers at The Farm through special arrangements with the other camps include: Theater & Dance Classes, Video & Dance on Camera, Technical Theater, Stage and Fantasy Makeup, Theatrical Costuming, and others!
