Brant Lake Camp for Boys, part of one family since 1917, has enjoyed an outstanding reputation, not just for its beauty and fine facilities but also because of its guidance and supervision. The same high standards have been upheld for the Dance Camp since its inception in 1980 when founder Sharon Gersten Luckman, currently the Executive Director of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and former Director of Dance at the 92nd Street Y, created the camp's unique summer camp format. From the beginning, our goal has been to
provide an intensive, professional dance program where teenage
girls can strengthen and broaden their dance skills, have fun
and socialize on a coed basis in a healthy and beautiful environment. |

When they are not dancing, there are many activities, often coed, from which campers may choose. The staff is well aware that teenagers need freedom of choice coupled with close warm guidance and supervision. Brant Lake is a wonderful place for an active teenage girl. She does not have to be headed for a lifelong pursuit of dance, although Brant Lake does have some noted alumni, and superb instruction is offered at all levels. The girls are asked to set goals for their stay at camp. Kirstin Been Spielman, the Dance Camp's director, helps guide each girl to achieve those goals as needed. Brant Lake's experienced and mature staff members provide guidance that leads to a safe, healthy, rewarding, and memorable summer. |
