“Camp Telaphiba holds a special place in my heart! Over the past decade, so many of my students have attended and absolutely loved it. I’ve watched them grow more confident, build lifelong friendships, and create cherished memories they’ll carry forever. Some have even become counselors in training and later full staff members, continuing the camp’s tradition of positivity and growth. It’s an incredible experience for dancers of all levels, and I’m so grateful to see its lasting impact on each of them.”

“As a mom of a boy in dance, I wanted a summer camp that was fun, positive, and enriching. As a studio owner with many options to choose from, I selected Camp Telaphiba for its unique focus on fostering friendships and providing high-quality dance experiences in a supportive, non-competitive environment. My son attended every summer from late middle school through high school and still considers it one of the highlights of his dance journey.

“Our dancers had a blast at Camp Telaphiba! Where else can you experience all the fun activities of a sleepaway camp and the artistic challenge and growth of a dance convention all rolled into one? The staff was attentive, caring, and incredibly talented. Each day was filled with outdoor adventures, fabulous dance classes, and opportunities to build new friendships. Camp Telaphiba gives kids the chance to connect with nature, develop themselves as artists, make new friends, and share their talents - I would definitely recommend it for your dancer!”

“I can't think of a better summer dance program than Camp Telaphiba. It combines all the elements your dancers need; superior dance training, fresh air and fun activities, and a chance for dancers to meet and bond in a non-competitive and organic way. The talented and experienced staff are nurturing and compassionate. They provide safe, challenging classes and extremely creative choreography for the end of the week showcase. I can't say enough about how well they treat each dancer, ensuring they are cared for both physically and mentally. The evening activities focus on self-care and leadership, and you start to see the dancers stepping up as leaders and role models within the group. Dancers get plenty of fresh air and camp experiences (hikes, campfires, swimming, and even rollerskating) while bonding with other dancers and making life-long friendships. I love chaperoning every summer because I get to see my dancers learn new skills that they bring back to the studio. My studio is close to NYC where there are many intensives offered. However, Camp Telaphiba provides a better summer dance experience than any city intensive because the staff takes on such an important role caring for these dancers as individuals. I have been chaperoning for over 6 years and it brings me so much joy to see campers returning year after year; they have become "my kids" too for that wonderful week.”
