Chautauqua Institution
Located on beautiful Chautauqua Lake in southwestern New York, Chautauqua Institution is host each summer to a vast array of recreation, arts, interfaith and education activities. Founded as a United Methodist Sunday School camp in 1874, Chautauqua has grown to become a home to among many things, professional theater and opera companies, a symphony orchestra, and the oldest running day camp in the country.
The Amphitheater stage at Chautauqua Institution has served as a lecture platform to United Stated Presidents, world dignitaries, renowned authors and many others who have helped shape the world we live in.
Chautauqua Institution’s nine week summer season truly holds something for all members of the family.
