Established in 1964, The Ballibay Campsshare a beautiful 174-acre mountaintop campus in Northeastern Pennsylvania. The camps share the same residential and foodservice facilities, but offer different programs and daily schedules, somewhat like different colleges within a university. The total campus population of all camps combined never exceeds 200 people. Becasue the camps use overlapping areas of the campus and share many staff, it is typically easy for campers attending any one of the camps to take advatage of the programs offered by any of the other camps.
The summer camps of Ballibay Camps, Inc. offer a wide range of non-competitive fine and performing arts activities in fun, traditional camp settings. We are located on a beautiful mountaintop in Northeastern Pennsylvania. Camp meals emphasize health, seasonality, whole local ingredients and sustainability. An on-site garden provides some produce and opportunities for camper participation. Established in 1964, American Camping Association accredited.
