Usdan Center for the Creative and Performing Arts is a 501c3 nonprofit based in Wheatley Heights on Long Island. Nestled in a 140-acre forested oasis, our mission is to invite people of all ages to experience the natural beauty of our campus and the transformative power of the arts. Our goal is to instill in our community a desire and drive to contribute creatively to the world now and for the rest of their lives.

Students in our Classic Program choose a two-period Major, a one-period Minor, and a one-period Recreational Activity for four or eight weeks. Each period consists of approximately one hour of instructional time, during which students immerse themselves in an area they are passionate about. Some of our campers love being able to explore two different departments for their Major and Minor, while others choose to focus on one. Most Majors and Minors culminate in a performance or celebration of student work. The Recreational Activity supports campers’ creative development by encouraging movement and play
