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.

Bridgehampton Summer Camp, More Than Music, Art, and Dance

Join us at our Bridgehampton summer camp dedicated to music, art, or dance, created to inspire students to explore their chosen art form, learn from expert artists/teachers, make friends, and have fun whole lot of fun along the way. We also have adult classes/lessons in the later afternoons in music, ceramics, and dance.

In our music programs (Rock Camp 9-3 pm, and also Jazz Workshop 3-5 pm), you will have lessons, play in ensembles, take lessons, work with expert musicians/teachers, and have a number of electives. If you are looking to explore the visual arts, we have a painting program called Diving into Art. For one week students explore acrylic painting and in week two there is a program dedicated to watercolor painting. For those interested in ceramics and sculpture, we have Explore Ceramics in the afternoons, 3-5 pm. In dance, students you learn hip hop/jazz in our program Dance Intensive and study with Rosanna Karabetsos (Brooklyn Nets Dance Team). Check out our summer camp schedule in Bridgehampton.

You will also learn that playing music, creating art, or learning dance is about much more than that one particular art form. It’s about give and take and cooperation in real time. It’s about negotiating the time and feel in the music so you find a common pocket, and the music can then soar. It’s about helping your fellow musicians, artists, and dancers learn and learning to others when you need to improve or tweak something in your playing. It’s about learning that everyone has a role in a band, art class, and dance ensemble…it’s about encouraging your fellow musicians/artists/dancers and also offering and taking honest advice on what to fix. It’s about performing with feeling and passion, but remembering to stay focused on stage. It’s about multi-tasking in the sense that one must listen to what he or she is playing in real time AND listen to what your fellow musicians are playing, so the music all fits together.

See you this summer at our Bridgehampton summer camp dedicated to the arts, and feel free to give us a ring if you have any questions, (908) 230-6079, www.HudsonMusicStudios.com.

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.

A Unique Summer Camp for the Arts in the Hamptons

We are a camp in the heart of Bridgehampton where students of all ages come to explore the arts - music, art (painting and ceramics), and dance. Whether you enroll in Rock Camp, Diving into Art, Explore Ceramics, or Jazz Workshop in the Hamptons, you will experience an arts experience in a fun and supportive environment with expert teachers. We also have private lessons and classes for adults.

There are so many benefits to attending a summer camp in the arts.

1. Creative Expression

The arts provide kids with an outlet for creative expression. Whether it's painting a picture, playing an instrument, or acting on stage, artistic activities allow children to express themselves in ways that they might not be able to through other means. Creative expression can help children to develop a sense of identity and build self-confidence.

1. Critical Thinking

The arts also encourage critical thinking. When kids are creating art or performing, they must think critically about how to convey their ideas effectively. They must consider factors like composition, color, tone, and emotion. Engaging in artistic activities can help kids to develop critical thinking skills that they can apply to other areas of their lives.

1. Social Skills

Participating in the arts can also help children develop social skills. When kids collaborate on a group project or perform in a play, they must learn to work together effectively. This can help them to build communication and teamwork skills that will serve them well in school and beyond.

1. Emotional Intelligence

The arts can also help children to develop emotional intelligence. When kids engage in creative expression, they must learn to identify and express their emotions effectively. This can help them to develop empathy and understand the emotions of others.

1. Cultural Awareness

Finally, the arts can help kids to develop cultural awareness. Exposure to different forms of artistic expression can help children to learn about different cultures and traditions. This can help them to develop a sense of empathy and understanding for people who are different from themselves.

Here is a mini-interview with Carlos Neto to give you a glimpse of what’s happening in Dance Intensive, our dance camp in Long Island (2014 Winner Outstanding Choreography NY Innovative Theatre Awards, 2016 Nominated Favorite Dance Teacher NYC by Backstage Readers Awards).

Dance Intensive, Summer Dance Camp in the Hamptons, Carlos Neto

1. What excites you about teaching Dance Intensive this summer and working with students who are either new to hip hop or who have experience?

It’s always exciting to meet new students in new areas specially those who are new to hip hop and street jazz. I’m looking forward to working with them intensively with enough time to build a foundation and create something special!

2. What is your approach to teaching, overall way of sharing your love of dance with others?

I enjoy teaching students more than just choreography or steps. I aim to give them a strong foundation that will allow them to grow at their own pace as well as serve them when taking other classes in the future.

I also believe it is very important to not focus solely on the dance but find the individual light within every student and push for their individuality and self confidence.

3. What are you excited about in your own work or projects you are working on or plan to start soon?

At the moment I’m part of a documentary about immigrant artists which will be shooting throughout the entirety of 2022. Very excited to see the final result. I’m working on a couple of music videos for 2 very special artists and also gearing up for the start of the new convention tour called Luminous.

Here is also a glimpse at Carlos’ choreography reel. See you in Dance Intensive!

Rock Camp and Dance Intensive, a Summer Camp Experience Like No Other in the Hamptons and New Jersey

What makes Rock Camp the premier music camp in New Jersey? What makes a week of Rock Camp and Dance Intensive stand out as such a unique and amazing week of summer camp in the Hamptons?

A few things come to mind:

1. Faculty.

   We seek the best teachers and performers from NYC and from conservatories/colleges from around the country. Essentially we look for teachers who are mastering their craft (pushing the envelope to further their artistic careers) and who also love teaching. Every teacher at RC and DI has these two qualities.

2. Creating a Fun and Social Environment.

   OK, it’s summer! After spending a year in classrooms, we want our students making friends, spending time outside, and having a great time making music and working on dance. Whether a student is a beginner or an advanced student, we make sure everyone is inspired to achieve an entirely new level in the music and dance abilities, while also having a great time along the way!

3. It’s all About the Student.

   Every student is unique in his or her talent, and learns differently. This is why every day after camp lets out, we have a faculty meeting and speak about every student, making certain the student is getting what or she needs. Why don’t we have these students create a trio during lunch, and perform at the end of the end of the week? Does this student need extra attention in this area? How about choreographing a new piece this dance faculty member and these students? How can this student be inspired to achieve the next level in terms of repertoire, technique, artistic expression, and confidence? We are asking these type of questions and discussing solutions every day. We stay nimble during the day to make these mini-changes so every student is having an amazing experience at Rock Camp and Dance Intensive.
