● About
Where Creativity Runs Free
In our tucked-away corner of Woodstock, NY, kids ages 7–14 set their own artistic path—exploring, experimenting, and bringing ideas to life in ways only they can dream up. All skill levels welcome.
We trade perfection for possibility and structure for serendipity. Here, campers take chances, chase wild ideas, and find magic in the mess. With guidance from a close-knit crew of artist-educators, campers leave with new skills, lasting friendships, and the confidence to create boldly.
Because summer should be messy, magical, and creatively yours.
● Programs
Creative Tracks to Explore
Tactile, creative exploration through painting, papermaking, and all things hand-crafted and messy. Days are spent blending pigments, sculpting in paper mâché, and bringing bold ideas to life in vivid color.
A space for kids to explore rhythm, melody, and instruments—where music-making takes center stage. They’ll try out different instruments, write their own tunes, and join in group jams that fill camp with sound.
Where imagination comes alive through theater, character play, storytelling, and performance. Campers rehearse scenes, create costumes, and collaborate on productions that bring their ideas to the spotlight.
● Camp Life
Life at Camp Bennie
Here at Camp Bennie, we blend the joy of summer with the tools to grow as an artist–eco-friendly cabins, fully equipped studios, and days filled with swimming, hiking, and outdoor adventures. Evenings around the fire spark reflection, laughter, and a deep sense of belonging.
