By Meghan Friedland, Publisher/Editor, Macaroni KID Greater Danbury, CT November 1, 2024

It's time to start thinking about Summer Camp 2025! Buck’s Rock Camp is a freedom-of-choice, overnight creative and performing arts camp nestled in a stunning pastoral setting in New Milford for teenagers ages 11 to 17. Every summer at Buck’s Rock is completely different. The campers who attend each year make the summer their own adventure by getting to choose their own daily schedule! Plus, the camp constantly evolves and changes to meet the needs of that year’s campers. What can you expect from Buck's Rock Camp in 2025?

  • Over 30 world-class programs await young artists every day, including everything from glassblowing to dance to painting to sketch comedy to radio to weaving to gardening and so much more!
  • Committed, professional counselors with a camper-to-counselor ratio of 2:1.
  • A tiered tuition system which makes camp more affordable for many. Tuition is based upon household size and gross combined annual income.
  • Multiple scheduling options: Choose from a 4, 6 and 8-week session between June 25 - August 16th, 2025. 

Buck's Rock will be hosting an Open House on Saturday, November 9th. This is a great opportunity to tour the campus and see for yourself what makes Buck's Rock Camp so special!

"Buck's Rock is more than just a camp, it's a place where you don't have to worry about anything: the clothes you wear, being the best athlete, actor, singer, etc... When I auditioned for one of the plays, I was really nervous, but during my audition I met new friends who auditioned with me and when we messed up we would laugh about it afterwards. Buck's Rock is not just another camp, it's a place where you can make great friends and have a lot of fun." ~ Camper, Age 11



"Buck's Rock perfects itself more every year! How it works its magic remains a mystery, but it all starts with the care, insights, and great instincts of the Buck's Rock team who create a summer experience of fun that is attuned to each camper's emotional and creative well being... Our daughter just finished her third summer and every year just gets better!...She has grown in confidence and social abilities as a direct result of being a Buck's Rock camper. And her words say it best...Buck's Rock ROCKS!!"
