Campers in third through seventh grades participate in our theater program as part of their elective choice. We run two productions a summer which are usually a Broadway Jr. play. Campers in the program rehearse for a month and then put performances on for their fellow campers (during the camp day) and then their parents (nighttime performance). Our theater program is run outside in the fresh air. Our large theater stage is covered, but open air on the sides. Audience seating is built into the mountain creating an amphitheater feel. The facility also has a backstage, costume-change rooms, trap doors, a professional sound booth, and a separate office for the theater staff.
Ramapo Country Day Camp is located on the Bergen (NJ) / Rockland (NY) border. We are near the New Jersey towns: Upper Saddle River, Woodcliff Lake, and Ramsey. We are easily accessible by: Rt 17 (Saddle River/ Woodcliff Lake Street Exits), The Garden State Parkway (Exit 172-Grand Ave, Montvale), and The NY State Thruway (Exit 14B).
