Highly Recommend ADTC!

“ADTC was a wonderful experience for my 11 year old daughter. This was her first time away from home for an overnight camp, and the counselors and teachers did a wonderful job keeping her busy and surrounding her with care all week. They were so enthusiastic and passionate, and served as wonderful role-models for the dancers. My daughter loved the different types of dance, along with the variety of off-campus and on-campus activities offered to the dancers. They also did a terrific job Read More

taking care of my daughter at mealtime, who has Celiacs. Navigating a gluten allergy like this can be very difficult, but they did a wonderful job and kept her safe at all times. She is extremely sensitive and at no point did she get sick. We highly recommend ADTC for your child’s overnight camp! carllacarr@yahoo.com”

ADTC is Amazing!

“ADTC is amazing! My daughter attended the Wisconsin location for 3 weeks this summer. She absolutely loved the camp and would want to go back. There was really good communication and I want more people to experience this amazing place. angeladiesch@gmail.com”

~ Angela D., Truckee, CA

So happy with absolutely everything!

“My daughter was so happy with absolutely everything she learned at the camp. ADTC provided adventure, friendship and courage to get out of her comfort zone! She met new friends and was very sad to leave at the end of just one week! She was even happy they took her phone away. She believes if they had their phones no one would have talked to each other and it made them communicate and get to know each other. I was surprised to hear this from her because she was dreading having to give up her phone! She is already planning for next year and can’t wait to go! chotabrenz@yahoo.com”

~ Brenda N., Tucson, AZ

Perfect balance of dance & summer camp activities!

“ADTC is an amazing summer camp that is the perfect balance of summer camp activities and dance classes! It helps promote self confidence, helps teach new dance skills, and the staff create a fun learning environment for all of the girls. Our daughter had the most amazing week and wants to sign up for 2 next year. She may even try to be a counselor/leader herself one day. This is such a positive and supportive environment and we have recommended the camp to so many others. Our daughter Read More

gained so much confidence and made so many new friends. I really appreciate the no cell phone policy. It is refreshing to have a space where you foster relationships and friendships while doing what you love to do! Thanks for creating such an amazing experience for these girls!!

Magical Experience!

“This camp was the absolute best experience for my daughter, from the dancing to the friendships to the tofu!! She loved it and the entire staff. We signed up very late, so to get us in was no easy task. The staff and communication was terrific. My daughter would have stayed all summer if given the opportunity! She doesn’t love the traditional sleep away camp, but spending a week doing what she loves with a bunch of girls who also love it made for a magical experience. We will be back! jennifer.l.warburton@gmail.com”

~ Jennifer W., Alexandria, VA

Fantastic Memories!

“ADTC Vermont was a great experience for our daughter. We combined English immersion together with dance and more dance everyday! Was easy to access from Montreal, great environment. Fun and sweat was on the daily menu and our daughter came back with fantastic memories, more confident talking English and ready for the next experience! She spent a week with new friends doing what she loves which is dancing 🙂 The VT Director and her team were the best! I was in great Read More

hands, felt comfortable even many miles away. When I had to communicate to get some info’s I got an answer very quickly from the Director and got a fantastic update about how my daughter was doing. My husband and I were impress with the show, the quality of the dance, the execution of the show, animation … everything was upscale 🙂 karinetousignant74@hotmail.com”

Organized, Happy & Inclusive

“My daughter didn’t have much dance experience before attending this camp but still felt valued and included as a dancer. The quality of instruction advanced her skills quite significantly in one week and allowed her to explore different dance styles at her level. ADTC provided a very organized, happy & inclusive environment for my daughter with personalized attention from amazing camp staff and instructors. She made many friends and loved the food, which hasn’t usually been the case at other camps. monicadk303@gmail.com”

Wonderful 1st Sleep-Away Camp Experience!

Hard To Say Goodbye!

“This was my daughter’s first sleep away camp experience outside of Girl Scouts and she loved every moment. ADTC is Inclusive, fun, and creative.

She loved it so much, it was hard to say goodbye at the end of the week! Kchavanu28@yahoo.com”

~ Kathleen C., Glenview, IL

~ Stephanie J., Huntington Station, NY

So glad we chose ADTC!

“I am so glad that we chose ADTC for our daughter. The camp offered excellent dance classes in a fun, supportive atmosphere. My daughter was challenged while also being affirmed. The camp was very well-organized and well-run. The teachers were great, and camp staff communicated frequently before and during camp. The food was great throughout the week, and I appreciate accommodating my daughter’s food allergies. It was great to have the dorm-style accommodations. The camp location Read More

was beautiful, and the counselor teachers were great at including all the girls. It was a perfect blend of dance training and fun times!”

~ Jennifer D., Salisbury, MD

Wonderful Experience!

“A wonderful experience overall! My daughter has attended two summers in a row – she dances most of her free time and this is the perfect camp for her. She makes new friends, gets to do what she loves (dance!) and learns new skills, both in dance and in life. The staff is great and so helpful all across the board. Communication is fantastic and we love seeing the daily photos! My daughter got a little homesick one weekend her first summer and the staff took great care to make sure Read More

she was ok (and to keep me updated). In fact, when she got home she said she was “camp sick” and wanted to go back to camp! ADTC provides excellent dance instruction and skill building, and allows her to broaden her experience in many dance styles. Equally important is the focus on interpersonal skill building and character development in an atmosphere of inclusivity, respect, dignity and fun. There are also non-dance activities to mix things up which she really enjoys. The shows are excellent! It is amazing to see what the girls accomplish in one week. You can tell they are having a great time. My daughter has kept in touch with new friends and can’t wait to attend camp again for her third summer next year. Thanks ADTC! krisgoldman@comcast.net”

~ Kristen G., Framingham, MA

The Best, Very Professional!

“Very pleased with the overall experience, management quickly and thoroughly answered our questions and took care of our concerns. My daughter was nervous since she didn’t know what to expect and the counselors were all great. The best, very professional. thank you all very much for a great week for my daughter!”

~ William W., Chatham, NY

5 Summers So Far!

“My daughter has been attending ADTC in Colorado since she was 9 (5 summers so far!) and she has formed such a great bond with the counselors and other campers. She has gained so much confidence from this camp we could not imagine going anywhere else. The instructors are incredible, and my daughter has become great friends with all of them. They really know how to lift the girls up and create a safe place for the girls to feel at home while they are away from their families. We have Read More

loved that it is a fairly small group and they really get to know each other and become lifelong friends. My daughter never felt homesick, she missed me, but she loved camp. Regarding technique, I think anytime you do something 6 days a week for multiple hours you get better. They really learned how to learn choreography fast since they only have a week to put on a show. She was able to learn different styles of moves from seeing other dancers from other studios preform. When you have new instructors and are with new dancers you have a different perspective. They of course have fun, but they dance a lot and they do come away from camp a better dancer than when they arrived. Activities, girls’ night out is a must, they get to dress up and go out to dinner in town. It is really sweet to see how they have all bonded over the week during this activity. She has also enjoyed the day at the beach – they go to Boulder Reservoir and paddle board, swim and hang out. Another great activity they do is a talent night and the girls choreograph their own dances and perform for each other, and then at the end of week show. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think my daughter would perform a solo in front of an audience. ADTC gave her the confidence to do that, and it brought me to tears. denisearnett@msn.com”

~ Denise A., Breckenridge, CO

Absolutely Amazing Camp!

“ADTC is an absolutely amazing camp. My daughter has been two years in a row. She has created memories and developed friendships that will last a lifetime.

It is a beautiful part of the country. dlj0306@gmail.com”

Above & Beyond!

“This was my daughter’s third year at the North Carolina location. I am very pleased with the treatment I and my daughter have received with ADTC. They go above and beyond in all aspects of their service. My daughter was a CIT this year in North Carolina and she had a wonderful time. It helped her take responsibility and grow in maturity.”

~ Wallene M., Mosheim, TN

Grew in incredible ways…

“My daughter experienced ADTC for the first time this past summer. Having her eating somewhere else, with a food allergy is sometimes unnerving. The fact that the time was taken to talk to us and reassure us that she would be safe, was great. I also loved being able to email her throughout the week. I thought it would be hard with her not having her phone, but she said she liked it. I also loved seeing the pics posted. The show on Friday truly was wonderful to watch. I loved seeing Read More

how interactive the girls were and how incredibly confident they appeared. This initial experience has me sad that we didn’t discover this amazing camp years ago. Not only was everything unbelievably organized from start to finish, but the communication was excellent. I’m so pleased that she was part of a body positive, strong group of ladies. This camp really does have it all. She danced an incredible amount, but balanced it with group activities and time spent getting to know the other campers. She still talks to her roommate and they plan on going at the same time this coming summer. My daughter grew in incredible ways…that would not have happened he she not attended camp. She can’t wait to return, and honestly, I can’t wait to hear her next stories. mommymak02@yahoo.com”

So pleased with ADTC!

“We were so pleased with ADTC. The instruction was excellent, the performances were incredible, and lots of friendships were formed. Non-dance activities were fun and there was plenty to choose from. The Stratton Mountain School was a beautiful location – we thought the accommodations were great and I was told that the food was very good. I never had any trouble getting in touch with the staff and everyone was very friendly. Our daughter will definitely return next summer!”

~ Paula J., Medfield, MA

All-time favorite summer camp EVER

“This is my daughter’s all-time favorite summer camp EVER, and she’s been to a lot of camps. My daughter loves the camp so much, she has her sights sets on being a CIT! She loves the challenge of learning new choreography in a short amount of time. She found her fellow campers very supportive in this endeavor and she enjoyed being supportive of them as well. The extra curricular non-dance related activities gave her a sense of freedom and an added level of fun! kimbear@comcast.net”

~ Kimber B., San Francisco, CA

Appreciate the caring staff!

“My daughter had so much fun at the camp that she signed up for the following session. She is afraid of heights (didn’t know that before she signed up for the high ropes), Ms. Ellen “rescued” her and she could not say enough about her. I appreciate the caring and concern that was shown while my daughter was in a “bad spot.” She is also now eating eggs for breakfast because of this camp 🙂 She said all the food was really good. rebeccabaik75@gmail.com”

~ Rebecca B., Gaithersburg, MD

Wonderful Experience

“Our 11 year old daughter (who dances on a competition team) had a wonderful experience at the program in Maryland, worked on her dancing, made new friends, really enjoyed the week living in the dorm and would love to return.

Flew From Honduras

“My daughter loved the camp! She loved every teacher. She flew from Honduras just to attend the camp and everyone made her feel welcomed and loved. She cried for two days after she left. She is at an age (17) where she needs to decide what she wants to study and felt undecided but after attending the camp she is decided and inspired to continue with dancing. pamychino@yahoo.com”

~ Alicia F., Doral, FL

This camp was GREAT!

“Our daughter loves dance so much. You rarely see her NOT dancing, running choreography, finding new music to dance to, or learning a dance from YouTube. When we found this camp and realized how well it would work with our summer plans it was decided we would try it out. We came into camp with really no expectations. From check in to check out we saw big smiles on the faces of everyone. We watched our daughter fall in love with dance in a way she hadn’t up to this point. Our daughter Read More

originally signed up for one week and I knew Friday night when we went to watch the performance that she was not coming home the next morning. She begged to stay the 2nd week and without hesitation we agreed. Watching our daughter dance is seriously one of my very favorite things to do…ever. So, watching her perform so many pieces that were taught each week during camp was fantastic. Sleep away camp is always good for children, but this camp was GREAT! She learned lots about dance, but even more about herself. Thank you for helping shape our daughter this summer. We cannot wait for her to attend next summer. ThePaxtons2017@gmail.com”

Far Exceeded Our Expectations!

“ADTC far exceeded our expectations! My daughter went as a first time solo camper this year at age 10. She’s been studio dancing for 8 years and we wanted something new and different for her. After dropping her off I could tell she was going to have an amazing time. I spoke to her 1 time in the week and she was having the time of her life. The show they put on Friday night was incredible and showcased all they learned. After the show you could see the care and love the girls had for Read More

each other and the friendships that were made. I can’t say enough amazing things about ADTC. Even her dance teachers said she came back a new kid. More confident and full of passion. We will definitely be sending Madison back next year for 2 weeks! ADTC far exceeded my expectations and we will recommend it to all our friends.The whole Beaver Dam staff was incredible. They were kind and helped with all questions both before and after camp. My daughter loved every moment she was there and loved the staff. They were fun, and professional. The Director was insightful and very easy to work with. I couldn’t say more amazing things about the staff. My daughter is gluten free and she had plenty of food options. They were dedicated to keeping her safe with dietary needs and also with her asthma. The dorms are so clean and nice. The whole facility was nice and safe. I had no fears leaving her there. ADTC runs an amazing program. My daughter had the most amazing time and begged to come back for 2 weeks next year which we definitely will! I’ve already told our studio owner and friends all about ADTC it was an amazing experience. And we will continue to send our daughter there for years to come. frances.prechel@gmail.com”

ADTC Was the Perfect Fit

“My daughter is 13 and this was her first overnight camp experience. I never thought she was the type of kid to want to go away for camp BUT ADTC was the perfect fit for her. It was filled with so many fun activities, dance instruction, new friends and so many laughs! She had counselors who truly cared about her and took such good care of her! My daughter has truly grown from this experience and she already plans to come back next summer. It was such a positive environment. Counselors were Read More

fun and outgoing and positive. My daughter went with close friends from home but left with about 20 new friends. The campers were inclusive and always up to something fun!. The training was fabulous. She came out a better dancer than when she came in. The show at the end of the session really was impressive…just 4 days of learning 4 dances!!!! I loved the constant pictures that were being sent. My daughter was too busy to write but the pictures told it all!!! Also, she became quite homesick after seeing me at her show. She was convinced she could not do another week. The Director was in close contact with me and responded quickly to my emails and concerns. She was on top of it and responsive to concerns. Another counselor worked it from the inside and spent extra time with my daughter till she was over the hump and back in camp mode. Both these parts were instrumental in getting her to re-engage in camp. And she came home wanting to go back!!!!! barshefsky8@yahoo.com”
