Camp Ballibay for the Fine and Performing Arts

"Ballibay is kind of like spinning around in circles really really fast but not being afraid to fall" Our sessions range from 2 to 8 weeks in length.

Ballibay is a summer sleep-away arts camp for boys and girls ages 8 through 16. We offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts camp activities in a fun, friendly, and authentic summer camp setting. We are located on an exquisitely beautiful 175-acre mountaintop campus in Northeastern Pennsylvania. We offer exciting programs in theater, the visual arts, music, dance, video, radio

, and rock-n-roll music. We have an outstanding horseback riding program, swimming instruction, and daily sports activities. Our program is completely individual choice: campers can focus on a single activity all day, pick several to focus on, or try a little of everything! For campers who know what they want to do all day, we offer dance camp and rock camp intensive programs. Our 3-week summer camp programs are perfect for campers who want to do theater, art, or music all day, or try a little of everything! Our two week summer camp programs are for more intense, focused study in the arts. Ballibay Camps, Inc. DBA Camp Ballibay for the Fine and Performing Arts, was established in 1964, and is American Camp Association accredited.

Dear Families and Friends of Ballibay,

It is with great sadness that we announce the permanent closure of Camp Ballibay.

As you know, the pandemic hit us hard. Despite two strong years of recovery, the past three summers have brought continued challenges with enrollment, and we have made the difficult decision that we will not be able to operate camp in 2026.

We have partnered with the wonderful Camp Med-o-lark to make sure that Ballibay campers have the option of a new summer home. Med-o-lark is an arts camp aligned with Ballibay’s mission and values, and we have great confidence that your children will love Med-o-lark as they have loved Ballibay.

Take a look at Med-o-lark’s philosophy and program: https://www.medolark.com/ballibay and feel free to contact them, or to reach out to Sarah to put you in touch with them.

If you are registered for summer 2026, please check your email for details on next steps.

Alongside Ballibay campers and staff, we have grown immeasurably at Ballibay; first as campers, then as counselors, and ultimately as camp directors. Experiencing and serving within this community has been the privilege of a lifetime, and while we are saddened to end this adventure after so many joyful and creative summers, life is change, and there is a season for all things.

Sincerely,

John Jannone, Owner
Sarah Galante, Director
Kristin Alexander, Director
