"I had thought three weeks would be too much, but it turned out to be not long enough. During the time I spent at Ballibay, I grew as a person, actor, and musician. I couldn't imagine how much I would miss it when I left."

Ballibay is a summer sleep-away camp for boys and girls ages 6 through 16. We offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts camp activities in a fun, friendly, and authentic summer camp setting. We are located on an exquisitely beautiful 200-acre mountaintop campus in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our sessions range from 2 to 9 weeks in length.
We offer exciting programs in theater, the visual arts, music, dance, video, radio, and rock-n-roll music. We have an excellent horseback riding program, swimming instruction, and daily sports activities.
Our program is completely individual choice: campers can focus on a single activity all day, pick several to focus on, or try a little of everything! For campers who know what they want to do all day, we offer dance camp and rock camp intensive programs. Our 3-week and 4-week programs are perfect for campers who want to do theater, art, or music all day, or try a little of everything! In addition to being a theater camp all summer, we offer a 2-week theater workshop at the end of the summer.
Every year we are strengthening our international program offerings; We introduced Capoeira (Brazil) in 2007, and are adding Freerunning/Parkour (France) for 2008, and plan to add Tai Chi (China) for 2009.
We are excited to have the Annex Dance Company in residence for the first session and dance camp intensive programs in 2008, teaching and performing with our campers!
Camp Ballibay was established in 1964, and is American Camping Association accredited.
