Situated on the idyllic Brooks School campus with its manicured fields, beautiful lake, and extensive amenities, participants have access to a variety of recreational, educational, and creative experiences. Our 270-acre campus offers summer programs the use of dorms, a full-service dining hall, an athletic complex, pools, boathouses with lake access, modern classrooms, and a professional performing arts center. Designed to meet diverse interests, abilities, and needs, our portfolio of programs is unmatched. At Brooks School, participants will find an environment that fosters a culture that creates a physically and emotionally safe, enriching environment.

After more than two years of construction, Brooks’ state-of-the-art Center for the Arts opened its doors to students, faculty and staff for use on October 30, 2018. The $28 million facility has transformed the school, bonding the visual, musical, and performing arts together and placing them on display at the center of campus.

The Center for the Arts consists of three structures: one each for performance, music, and visual arts. Connecting all three is a shared indoor “arts street” and outdoor courtyard. The two-level interior street offers gathering and seating areas for small groups, providing space for informal exchange, collaboration, discussion, exhibitions and receptions before and after events. The walls serve as a gallery, highlighting the arts as every member of the Brooks community passes through the building.

Performances, teaching and community gatherings have a spacious, comfortable home in the theater, designed to fit the entire student body with 387 seats. Its stage connects to a scene shop and a 1,200-square-foot Black Box theater, which provides a flexible teaching space and an additional performance venue. A costume shop, changing room and green room are included as well. Sliding barn doors increase visibility and connection in the Arts Street, as well as allow overflow standing room for large events.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: We’re more than a summer camp. Our wide array of programs for children ages 4–18 help young people develop skills for a successful future. While participants are engaged in daily activities, something else is happening; they are gaining self-confidence, social skills, and the qualities of being a leader. Brooks School prides itself on offering summer programs that have a purpose and long-lasting impact on each child.

Broadway at Brooks is our premier theatre camp, which is perfect for young artists looking to take their theatrical training to the next level. The two-week summer theatre workshop is for children ages 9 through 14. Theatre professionals with an invaluable depth of knowledge and years of experience in the field provide a meaningful and long-lasting experience for our students. This is a chance for students to learn from the best the area has to offer and become a triple threat performer.

ARTvernturers is a weekly themed program that allows participants to explore theatre, visual arts, and music! In this integrated arts program, participants rotate daily through three creative components, as they collaborate on a creative showcase that combines all of their artistic experiences. Outdoor activities complement and balance the arts’ focus to provide a well-rounded, immersive, and fun experience.

Brooks School Summer Programs is fully licensed and permitted by the Town of North Andover and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. We work hard to bring together a talented and dedicated team of youth development professionals who love what they do and are excited to share their passion and diverse experiences with your camper.
