Usdan Summer Camp for the Arts
Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts is the nation's preeminent not-for-profit summer school of the arts.Usdan has been declared a "Best Of" camp by TimeOutNY/Kids, and by NY Metro Parents, and the Center has been profiled in feature articles in The New York Times and in Time Magazine. Usdan's mission is to provide children with the arts as a lifetime companion.
Our Mission: We invite people of all ages to experience the natural beauty of our campus and the transformative power of the arts. Usdan was founded on Jewish values that inspire us to make the world more just and more beautiful. When we welcome the diverse group of passionate young artists here each summer the heart of Usdan comes alive. Our goal is to instill in our community a desire and drive to contribute creatively to the world now and for the rest of their lives.
I ONLY WANT TO BE WITH U(SDAN)!
Parents love Usdan!
