I went to USDAN the summers of 03, 04, 05 and 06. Only reason I couldn't go anymore was because I had aged out. I absolutely loved this place and look back on my memories fondly. I met some great people and got to see some great performances. Yes the teachers give you "homework" but it's an arts camp so what do you expect? You of course are going to have to practice and memorize your lines. I loved the theater program (even if the reps play favorites) and the creative writing class was so much fun. The theater program gave me my first lead as Ariel in The Tempest. I will be sending my kids here when I have them. I loved how it was in the woods away from people. Made it much more enjoyable. Wish I could go back. My last day I remember getting off the bus and crying because I could not longer go back. The teachers can be tough but they just want you to do your best. I miss it here and if anyone has children who are into the arts send your kids here
