Would have been great if we were able to use the pool but that was off limits for our group. What I really appreciated as a mom, was the hair net/hair coverings they had everyone use before they put on a helmet.

They offer free trial sessions so you can experience the program before committing. After my son's initial session, I signed him up for 20 sessions. Which he will use during off season to improve his endurance, strength and performance. The workout varies from session to session, changing it up for the kids so its not too predictable. They give the kids breaks for water, but they have you out there moving pretty much the whole time. The intensity level of the kids vary, but they do try to push you. My son is definitely tired after the workout, but he looks forward to it now.

We've always liked the training at Premier. The camps and practices are always well run. It's clear…read morethat planning and experience goes into each one. Additionally the coaches run a tight ship while keeping kids on task. During this tough time - covid shutdown- they have offered Zoom practices. My kid has had other Zoom practices and classes and they're always sort of a mess. Rob and his coaches run theirs just like a regular practice - tight! It's clear that a lot of thought and planning go into each one. And, more important she's learning. She loves the practices. She says they almost make her feel like life is normal for a minute. They've been like an anchor during this tough storm! Thanks for doing the right thing for these kids.

It is almost like you are preparing for higher educational institutions, regardless of your age. I recommended this facility to a friend of mine, as her son wanted to spread his wings at USDAN, so to speak. The "campus" has changed greatly since I was enrolled, however, it has only been improved. The studios where teaching had taken place, were now solid buildings and not merely the wooden huts that I remembered so fondly. They are probably more sturdy during the occasional heavy summer rain. You still need a map to navigate the heavily wooded grounds. I remember having an assembly on a daily basis, which often featured a well known talented performer. There is a daily swimming class, a lunch hour as well as time to dedicate to both your major and your minor. There was also ice cream served by the friendly staff at the end of every day, as you walked to the bus. The teachers were phenomenal. Each one was incredibly talented and well versed in his or her craft. This definitely contributed to creating an exceptional experience. Highly recommended.

Usdan is a place like no other (well, not that I know of, at least). I was lucky enough to spend…read morethree summers enrolled in various programs here, and it'll forever hold a special place in my heart, so, sorry if this review gets a bit schmaltzy. I promise that I'm not exaggerating. In the most technical sense, it's a day camp. But more like a cross between a college campus and an artists' commune, it's anything but your average day camp. Campers/students, who come from all over Long Island as well as all five boroughs, have total control over their course of studies for the summer and on your typical day at Usdan, nestled within acres of woods you'll find kids (up to age 18) doing everything from welding jewelry, firing kilns, or wielding paint brushes, to singing/playing scales, dancing on pointe, or playing improv games in a acting class. It's a both a place to learn a new craft and to cultivate an already burgeoning talent. Aside from the fab programs (with wonderfully encouraging and professional teachers at their helm), Usdan stands out in its layout and design. Someone made the brilliant decision to take advantage of the sprawling physical environment of the campus, and the result is that none of the "classrooms" at Usdan have both four walls and a roof, allowing art to be entwined with the elements in a really neat way. Many have a distinctly tree-house feel. Trust me when i say that this makes the experience all the more enriching, not to mention fun. There's also a great big swimming pool, an essential part of any summer experience. One of the most exceptional parts of the Usdan experience is the daily mid-day concert that are a daily part of each camper's schedule. For the first half of the summer, campers are treated to performances by acclaimed professionals from all over the performing arts world. It was during such concerts that I enjoyed seeing both Yo Yo Ma and Savion Glover (!!), among many, many others. Trust me when I tell you this is amazing. Concerts during the second half of the summer are dedicated to student performances. Oh, and also, among a nice list of esteemed alumni you'll find Ms. Mariah Carey herself.
