New York State
Outside of New York City, the northern and western landscape of the state is surprisingly rural, with small villages intermixed with larger towns, rolling hills and valleys, picturesque mountains and beautiful lakes and streams. If you want to get your kids out of the city for the summer, send them to a camp in upstate or western New York that will be a change of pace literally and figuratively!
Fine arts camps aren't limited to New York's metropolitan centers. There are lots of specialty arts camps set in and around small upstate towns and in the foothills of the Catskills. Traditional camps with a specialized theme are also prevalent in these areas, as are regional sports camps and local YMCA, Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts camps. Participants looking for a classic outdoor camping experience have a wide range from which to choose.
