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.

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.

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.
