The camp’s mission statement is “MANY EXPRESSIONS, ONE WORLD Explore world cultures through music, dance, theater, visual art, nature, writing, photography, and architecture!” Campers are grouped by age and led in arts-related workshops and recreational activities around a cultural theme each day, and they get exercise walking in a vast park under the shade of trees. Campers explore rhythm through the cultures of the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and the USA with jazz, Latin, and classical artists. The program includes a Friday Fiesta and a performance by Musiquita for all campers at the end of the final week of camp, and the 2026 TAC Counselor application will open March 1.

Tarrytown Arts Camp collaborates with the Hudson Valley Writers Center, and a photography workshop is planned in collaboration with Creative Writing Camp, with dates forthcoming. The program continues a long-term relationship with local multi-disciplinary artist Jill Liflander, and Music at TAC Ensemble Camp is held at Sleepy Hollow High School, while Creative Writing and Exploratory Arts take place at the Hudson Valley Writers Center.
