Creativity and skill abound at Deer Mountain. We have a huge selection of activities in our fine arts program—and we make sure our campers get to experience all of it!
Whether creating a beautiful mosaic at Arts & Crafts, sanding miniature furniture at woodshop, or knitting a cozy scarf to treasure in the winter, we cultivate our campers’ imaginations through multiple colors, textures, and mediums. At Fine Arts, your child will bring his or her imagination to life, create something beautiful—and have fun in the process. He or she might even uncover a sprouting talent.
Artists and teachers who are experts at developing programs for children teach all of our Fine Arts activities. We weave a careful balance of each activity into camper schedules based on age and gender. If Fine Arts spark a passion with your child, he or she can select to focus more time in this area of camp during their Club or TOPS electives.
Discover the rich textures of our Fine Arts program—and get inspired!
Taught by working and professional actors, dancers, and musicians, our performing arts program allows campers to discover talent in exciting group performances—and shine on their own stage.
Singing, dancing, cheering, staging, and performing are a huge part of the Deer Mountain experience. Our performing arts program is top-notch. Children put on riveting performances; learn new dance moves; strum the guitar; act and play with sound equipment. Facilities include a 1,000 sq ft performing arts building featuring a maple-floored dance studio (which debuted in 2012), a full array of rock band equipment and a dramatic, outdoor amphitheater complete with sound equipment for performances.
As always, programming is age-appropriate. Younger campers have fun moving, dancing, singing, and playing games, while we introduce their ears to the basics of rhythm and beats. Older campers develop performing arts interests of their choice in-depth during Club and TOPS elective programs. Raw talent thrives at Deer Mountain!
