Perry-Mansfield is a historic, deeply meaningful place that has nurtured artists and young people for over 100 years. The organization is working to permanently protect the land through a conservation easement, ensuring it remains undeveloped and continues its mission for future generations. The goal is to raise $150,000 for legal and conservation costs. Donations now can be significantly amplified through tax benefits, helping build a long-term endowment to sustain both the land and its programs. This is a rare opportunity for the community to preserve a lasting legacy.

We accomplish this through world-class instructors and a holistic approach. Our programs are innovative, inspirational, and immersive. We promise to be a place where pioneers of imagination, spirit, and performance come together.
Rooted in 74 acres of wilderness and more than a century of artistic legacy, Perry-Mansfield stands at the intersection of history and possibility. Founded on the belief that immersion in nature deepens artistic discovery, the camp has long been a place where physical rigor, emotional courage, and creative collaboration converge across disciplines.
As a pioneering force in modern dance, choreography, and performing arts education, Perry-Mansfield continues to honor its origins while actively shaping what comes next. Inspired by founders Charlotte (Kingo) Perry and Portia Mansfield, whose lives were dedicated to lifting others and nurturing bold dreams, we embrace a future that invites new generations of artists to imagine expansively, train holistically, and lead with purpose.
Our vision is to re-root Perry-Mansfield in its founding values while evolving into a dynamic, future-facing center for performing arts education.
