French Woods Festival of the Performing Arts is a large private summer camp in the western Catskills on NY state. We offer children from 7 - 17 an individual choice program where they choose their own activities from a broad menu of options in the visual and performing arts, sports, magic, circus, traditional summer camp activities and horseback riding. We have a large indoor riding ring and an extensive trail system, and we offer lessons and trail riding in both English and western styles.
