A Different Approach, The Premier Camp in the Hamptons

At our summer camp in the Hamptons, located in heart of Bridgehampton, we have a different approach to inspiring students in their interests. It comes down to one word - focus.

Whether you are coming to our summer camp in the Hamptons to explore music (rock camp and/or jazz), art, pottery, theater, dance, or the culinary arts, you will dive deep into your passion with master artists and instructors.

Our camp in the Hamptons is structured in a way where students can choose a day program, 9-2:45 pm, in either music (Rock Camp) or in art (Diving into Art). In the afternoons we have electives, 3-5 pm, in areas such as ceramics, theater, cooking classes, jazz instruction, and adult classes in music, ceramics, culinary, and dance.

At the end of the week, whether its your day summer camp or afternoon elective, you will have a performance, art exhibit, recital, or demonstration for friends, family, and the public. This experience acts as an a mini-milestone for the student and each artist builds an inner confidence that is based on new found skills and inspiration.

A student who was shy discovers her voice on stage. A student who always wanted to play an instrument but was not lucky enough to take music in school, is now performing in a band and playing songs with his or her peers. A student who loves to build things at home is now creating vases on the pottery wheel.

What you see throughout the week is a group of people who come to us with a mixture interest and excitement and who slowly transform into a different person. This happens because students are surrounded by their peers who share their interests, and its also a result of our great teachers. This experience at our arts camp in the Hamptons is bit like watching a caterpillar evolve into a butterfly.

Summer Camp for the Arts in the Hamptons

If you are looking for a summer camp in the Hamptons, one that will inspire you, come join us in Bridgehampton this summer where students have a choice to explore music, art or dance. In our music program, you can join Rock Camp or Jazz Workshop. In art we have Diving into Art and Explore Ceramics, and in dance we have Dance Intensive. You can see all of our programs and dates on our site.

Our summer camp in the Hamptons, Rock Camp, is open to beginner students - experienced musicians of all ages. Students will take small group lessons, play in both a morning band and afternoon band, take a number of electives, and have a performance at the end of the week. Our musicians also learn to read and write music, and learn about music theory.

For instance, say students learn the song Memories by Maroon 5 in their band.  In addition to learning the music and how to perform it, they would also learn about music theory and the power of harmony when chords move from the I chord to the V chord (such as C major to G dominant 7th).  

We will learn how original songs come from a variety of sources, and ideas are often recycled.  Everything comes from something and new songs are often a variation of older songs in some way.  

Listen to Memories by Maroon 5.  Then listen to Pachabel's Canon in D.  You can see how Adam Levine added his amazing voice, guitar, and a drum beat voice to a song written in 1680.  The chords are the same.  Add a catchy beat, guitar, and creative lyrics....and you have Pachelbel's Canon updated to 2023.

All of our students and staff in our summer camp for the arts in Bridgehampton are very friendly and welcoming! So whether you are inexperienced or a seasoned professional, the experience will be fun AND inspiring (this is the summer)! At the conclusion of each week there are concerts, art exhibits, and dance recitals. Having these end of the week events, gives students a few things….

1. Students gain an inner confidence because they have learned new skills and applied those skills in collaboration with others to create something great, something that gives joy to others. He or she knows that this was done through his or her own talents and efforts.

2. Students will be surrounded by others who also love their chosen field, whether it’s music, art, or dance. As we all know, you are inspired as much from your teachers as from your peers!

3. This kind of confidence that comes from performance will carry over to other areas of life that interest the student. You know the feeling of accomplishment, a kind of accomplishment that comes from practice, focus, and working with others to create something greater than the sum of its parts.
