"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 an arts summer camp for boys and girls ages 6 through 16. We offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts activities in a fun, friendly traditional summer camp setting. We are located on an exquisitely beautiful 200-acre mountaintop campus in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Our sessions range from 2 to 7 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 and rock-n-roll 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!
Camp Ballibay was established in 1964, and is American Camping Association accredited.
My daughter has changed and grown and had the time of her life. Being in such a creative, free, open, supportive, crazy, structured, day-by-day environment was just the thing. I chose Ballibay because I hoped it would be a place where she could explore her talents, meet like-minded kids and get more exposure to Americans of her age. I could not have chosen a better place for her. She is glowing and happy and has so much to tell and share.

The kids had a great time at camp this year. Danny didn't want to come home... Thanks so much for your great work!

India can't stop talking about how much she enjoyed the camp, it is everything she or I could have hoped for.

Sophia had a truly wonderful time at Ballibay this summer and she was really moved! She can't wait to come back next summer and bring her sister too. Thank you for this complete enrichment in the woods! It was a very healing place...

Jazzlynn has nothing but positive things to say about her Ballibay experience. The activities you plan, the inclusive setting, the friendships you helped foster, it's all incredible, and it helped my daughter tremendously. I already can see the boost in her self confidence and I know I have you and Camp Ballibay to thank for that. Jazzlynn is already saying that she cannot wait to attend next summer.
