Brant Lake Dance Camp is an overnight (sleepaway) summer camp for girls roughly ages 10-16 in the Adirondacks, combining professional dance training with traditional camp activities. Campers choose two to six hours of daily dance across ballet, jazz, tap, modern and hip-hop, alongside a waterfront, tennis and arts programs. As of 2026 the program has been rebranded Brant Lake Sports Academy, so confirm current offerings before enrolling.

★★★★★Richard SchoorBoth of our girls have spent multiple summers at BLDC and each one has been wonderful for them. The camp manages to balance excellent dance instruction with the total summer camp experience: the beautiful lake, water sports, bunk life, campfires, and deep friendships. My wife and I could not be happier to have sent our girls to this fantastic place.
★★★★★Theodore S. SteingutThis great camp is always near and dear to my heart. My father went before me (albeit for only one year with Bobby G), and then I was in a group with current director and friend Richie G. My brother and cousin also went and if I had had a son he would have been on the gray team also. Sorry I will miss my buddies at the 100th reunion after camp but looking forward to seeing everyone in October at Chelsea piers
★★★★★James DrewettIncredible place for campers and counselors. I absolutely loved every minute of the 5 years when I was a counselor at BLC. Met some life long friends and made some incredible relationships, the level of coaching is phenomenal and the kids are great and keen to learn. Then throw into the mix the incredible facilities and location and it fully deserves the recognition. Congratulations also to everyone connected for its 100th year anniversary (2016}!!
★★★★★Heiko FettigI was a camp counselor at this camp in 1995, 1996, and 1998. I had a great experience and would not hesitate to send my kids here if they were a little more inclined towards sports. The greatest strength is the continuity in the senior staff, many of whom have been staff at the camp for over 20 years.
★★★★★The Relaxing Room (Stuff I Love!!)Brant lake camp is the best summer camp you can go to. The young men who go to Brant Lake camp come away with friends, life lessons and skills that can take with them for life. Brant Lake camp has been around for 100 yrs. one generation, one family owned. The staff is awesome and treats every camper with respect. The food is awesome, know I was a counselor in 91' GO GREEN. By the way this is a true american camp that will continue to go on for many many years. We love BLC. what a way to spend a summer!!!!!!
