Residential coed summer camp

Hancock, New York

Established in 1970

French Woods Festival offers a fully individual program focused on theater, music, dance, circus, magic, and visual arts that also includes sports, waterfront, horseback riding and nearly everything else.. Children from seven to seventeen have a unique opportunity to explore their interests and improve their abilities in a wide variety of performing and visual arts as well as more traditional camp activities. At the end of each session parents and families come to see their campers perform in musical theater shows with full orchestras, plays, music concerts, circus, magic, and rock and roll shows, horseback and water skiing expeditions, and more.

Each child is able to create a unique schedule that caters to their own individual interests and abilities. Children come from across the United States as well as many countries to participate in our extensive program. Regardless of your abilities, there is a place for you in every program at French Woods Festival. You may attend any or all of our three 4 week sessions, our one week session, or our first time one night sleepover.
