Hands-On Film Production, Professional Theater Training, and Artistic Exploration in the Adirondacks – Now Enrolling for Summer 2025

Dobbs Ferry, NY, 4th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Long Lake Camp is excited to unveil its transformative 2025 summer programs, which focus on filmmaking and performing arts for teens ages 8 to 16. Known for nurturing young creative talent in a supportive and immersive environment, Long Lake’s programs are now more dynamic than ever.

“Long Lake is not just a camp—it’s a creative community where teens can explore their passions, gain college-level experience, and make lifelong memories.”

Nestled in the heart of the Adirondack Mountains on a scenic 200-acre lakefront campus, Long Lake Camp for the Arts offers an unmatched blend of artistic excellence and traditional camp adventure. Campers not only develop their craft under the guidance of industry professionals but also enjoy hiking, swimming, sports, talent shows, and more, creating a summer experience that is both creatively fulfilling and deeply memorable.

The Teen Filmmaking Program at Long Lake gives aspiring directors, writers, cinematographers, and editors the chance to explore every stage of the film creation process. Campers develop original scripts, storyboard scenes, shoot on professional-grade cameras, and edit using industry-standard software. With guidance from experienced film professionals, each camper leaves with a portfolio-ready short film and a greater understanding of the filmmaking process from start to finish.

Meanwhile, the Performing Arts Program has long been celebrated for its deep roots in theater, music, and dance. Alumni include Oscar-winning actor Adrien Brody, whose passion for acting was nurtured at Long Lake. Campers choose from majors including acting, musical theater, dance, technical theater, and fine arts, and participate in high-level training that mirrors the rigor of conservatory programs. Professional theater productions are staged each summer, featuring shows like Chicago, Beauty and the Beast, Into the Woods, and Legally Blonde—all led by experienced directors, choreographers, and vocal coaches.

Campers may select up to six artistic disciplines to study during their session, allowing them to explore different talents or specialize deeply in one area. There are no auditions required, making Long Lake an inclusive space where passion and potential are welcomed above all.

New for 2025, Long Lake Camp is offering advanced filmmaking and performing arts sessions designed to give campers deeper, more focused experience in their chosen craft. These immersive programs help teens build strong portfolios, refine their skills, and prepare for future opportunities in college or the professional arts world—all while doing what they love.

Campers may now explore unlimited artistic options across six major disciplines, including theater, music, fine arts, dance, film, and rock bands. Whether your teen wants to try everything or dive deep into one area, our expert staff will help them create a custom schedule that supports their passions and goals.

“Spending my summer making films and performing in full productions was more than just fun—it gave me real direction,” said a 2024 performing arts camper. “At Long Lake, I didn’t just explore my passion—I walked away with a finished project, new skills, and the confidence to pursue the arts seriously. It was a game-changer for me.”

The camp offers flexible session lengths to accommodate different family schedules. The first 3-week session runs from June 22 to July 13, 2025, at a rate of $7,395. Additional 6-week programs are also available, with extended options providing deeper artistic immersion. Regardless of session length, every camper enjoys small class sizes, personalized instruction, and access to professional facilities including sound stages, black box theaters, recording studios, and art workshops.

More than just technical training, Long Lake focuses on building confidence, creativity, and character. Through their work on stage and behind the scenes, campers learn collaboration, leadership, time management, and resilience. These are life skills that extend far beyond summer, and many Long Lake alumni go on to attend top arts colleges, join theater companies, or launch careers in film and media.

The campus itself is a vital part of the Long Lake experience. Surrounded by mountains and forests, the camp offers a peaceful retreat from the pressures of everyday life, where young creatives can unplug, reconnect with nature, and fully immerse themselves in their art. Lodging, dining, and recreation are all designed to foster connection, safety, and fun.

With over 55 years of experience, Long Lake Camp for the Arts has earned a national reputation for excellence. Many former campers say their summers at Long Lake were life-changing, helping them discover not only their artistic talents but also lifelong friendships and a deeper sense of self.

Enrollment is open now, and families are urged to register early, especially before the June 1 deadline to secure their teen’s spot in one of the country’s most exciting and enriching summer programs for young artists.

Press Release

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery Advocates for Centering Indigenous Voices in Archaeological Research

Published

1 hour ago

on

June 7, 2025

By

Ontario, US, 7th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, In the evolving landscape of archaeological research, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery emerges as a prominent and courageous advocate for an approach that not only acknowledges but centers Indigenous perspectives, governance, and knowledge systems. Her work exemplifies a broader movement to reimagine archaeology as a collaborative, ethical, and community-grounded discipline. As an Associate Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Centre for Indigenous Studies at the University of Toronto, Dr. Montgomery is helping to set a new international standard for how archaeology can evolve with social justice at its core.

A Commitment to Collaborative Research and Relational Practice

At the heart of Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s work lies a commitment to collaborative methodologies. She emphasizes that the future of archaeology must be defined by partnerships with descendants and local communities. Her leadership in the Picuris Pueblo Archaeological Research Project (PPARP) demonstrates a deep, reciprocal relationship with the Tribal Nation in northern New Mexico. Rather than conducting extractive research, the project is designed with the Picuris Tribal Council to ensure community needs and priorities shape all aspects of the research—from question development to data analysis and interpretation.

“Archaeology must be about more than discovery,” Dr. Montgomery says. “It must be about relationships—building trust, sharing intellectual authority, and honoring the knowledge systems that have existed long before universities or academic institutions.” For Dr. Montgomery, collaboration is not merely a research strategy; it is an ethical imperative and a decolonial commitment.

Upholding Indigenous Data Sovereignty

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery integrates the principles of Indigenous data sovereignty into all facets of her research. The CARE Principles—Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsibility, and Ethics—serve as a foundational guide for her work. These principles challenge traditional academic frameworks that often marginalised Indigenous communities’ rights over their own histories and cultural data.

By allowing Indigenous partners to retain control over the stewardship, storage, and future use of archaeological data, Dr. Montgomery fosters a model of shared responsibility and long-term accountability. Her publications, such as The Archaeology of Settler Colonialism in North America, critique historic archaeological practices and push for a future where Black and Indigenous communities are not merely subjects of research but co-authors of the archaeological record.

Redefining the Classroom: Transforming Pedagogy and Power

At the University of Toronto, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery is equally transformative in the classroom. Her teaching goes far beyond traditional lectures—it serves as a platform for critical pedagogy and co-learning. Courses like “Indigenous Archaeologies” and “Fight the Power,” expose students to non-Western epistemologies, challenge them to interrogate colonial power structures, and prepare them to become politically-engaged researchers.

Dr. Montgomery regularly incorporates BIPOC scholars into her syllabi, allowing students to engage directly with perspectives that have historically been excluded from academic discourse. These engagements are an essential aspect of her anti-colonial approach to changing what voices and experiences are considered valid within the discipline of archaeology.

Additionally, her courses often include applied components, such as student partnerships with Indigenous-led organizations and applied research with museum collections and exhibition design. These experiential learning opportunities cultivate cultural humility and show students how critical and ethical practices can be implemented in real-world contexts.

Expanding the Global Dialogue on Ethical Archaeology

Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery’s influence reaches far beyond the U.S. and Canada. She is increasingly recognized as a global leader in ethical, community-centered archaeological research. Her work is frequently cited in scholarly journals and has contributed to shaping policy discussions in institutions across Europe, New Zealand, and the Americas. Most recently, she co-authored a landmark article inSAPIENS outlining the Journal of Social Archaeology a roadmap for integrating anti-colonial and collaborative approaches Indigenous governance structures into archaeological practice. This framework of “reclamation” is now being referenced by researchers, museums and universities seeking to redesign their research ethics protocols.

Dr. Montgomery is also a sought-after speaker at conferences and symposia, where she shares practical strategies for community engagement, anti-colonial research design, and museum decolonization. Her workshops on decolonizing pedagogy and anti-racism in heritage interpretation have helped scholars, curators, and administrators rethink how Indigenous belongings are displayed and contextualized, ensuring consent and collaboration at every level.

Looking Ahead: Archaeology as a Tool for Justice

As the archaeological field confronts calls for decolonization and reparative justice, Dr. Lindsay Martel Montgomery continues to challenge institutions to move beyond performative gestures. For her, it is not enough to acknowledge past wrongs—archaeologists must actively work to change structures, redistribute power, and repair harm. “True decolonization is not symbolic,” she insists. “It’s material. It;s about who leads the research, how benefits are distributed, and whose stories are prioritized.” This perspective is evident in every aspect of her work—from her syllabus design to her field collaborations and publications.

In an era where conversations about colonial legacies and social justice are at the forefront, Dr. Montgomery’s scholarship and activism offer a model for transformation. She bridges theory and practice with clarity, compassion, and a deep sense of responsibility. Her work
not only critiques the colonial foundations of archaeology but also lays out a roadmap for a more inclusive and equitable discipline.

Her vision is bold but clear: archaeology must serve the communities it studies, not the institutions that fund it. And in pursuing that vision, she continues to set a new global standard for ethical engagement.

Optimize Your QuickBooks Files for Faster, More Accurate Financial Management

Published

June 6, 2025

By

Kingston, US, 6th June 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, As businesses grow, so does the amount of data in their QuickBooks files. Over time, these files can become cluttered and slow, leading to decreased performance and potential errors. QuickBooks file optimization is a crucial service that improves both the speed and accuracy of your accounting system, helping businesses run more smoothly.

Large QuickBooks files can slow down your system, especially when generating reports or reconciling accounts. File optimization reduces the size of the file, removes unnecessary data, and reorganizes it for better performance. This results in faster processing times and a more efficient workflow, saving you time and reducing frustration.

A cluttered QuickBooks file can lead to mistakes, such as duplicate transactions or discrepancies in reports. Optimizing your file ensures that your financial data is clean and organized. By removing outdated records and fixing data inconsistencies, you reduce the risk of errors in your financial reports, which is essential for making informed business decisions.

As QuickBooks files grow in size, the likelihood of corruption or data loss increases. Regular file optimization helps identify and address potential issues early, preventing corruption and ensuring that your data remains intact. This proactive approach can save your business from costly and disruptive downtime.

QuickBooks file optimization helps streamline your accounting data by eliminating inactive accounts, old transactions, and irrelevant entries. This not only improves performance but also makes it easier to manage your financial information, keeping your system organized as your business grows.

QuickBooks file optimization is a simple yet effective way to ensure that your accounting system runs efficiently and accurately. By improving system performance, enhancing data integrity, preventing file corruption, and simplifying data management, optimization helps your business save time and reduce the risk of costly errors.
