About Camp

REHEARSALS

On the first day of camp, campers get to know each other and their counselors by playing theater games and ice breakers. The next day campers audition for the show and after auditions rehearsals begin! Twice a day for a week and a half the kids have rehearsals for their final performance.

11:00 SHOW

The 11:00 show is our daily talent show after snack in the am. This is the time for campers to show what they've got! Whether it's a bellowing solo, a dramatic monologue, a dance routine with friends, baton twirling, magic shows, piano, guitar, drums, gymnast routine, or improv, you'll have a blast watching and performing with your fellow campers. 

Spirit Days

Four times a session DRT has dress up spirit days for the kookiest of kids! Past spirit days have included Beach day, Disney/Super Hero Day, Wacky Wednesday, PJ Day, Rockstar day, and of course color day! 

WORKSHOPS

Workshops are designed to give campers the chance to explore a new aspect of theater during the camp day. Campers participate in two workshops each session, choosing from a long list of options. Past workshops include: Improv, Musical Theatre Dance, Voice, Set Design, Audition Training, Puppetry, and Rock Band. Each year a different counselor has something new to bring to DRT; the possibilities are endless!

PERFORMANCES

Campers show off their hard work in a fully-produced musical at the end of each camp session! A, B, C, and D casts perform on the last Friday night of camp. Parents and friends are invited to attend this night admission-free to support their kids and fellow camp performers!

OUTDO​OR GAMES

Every day campers participate in all different types of outdoor games! From dodge ball, to pro ball, Dr. Dodge Ball, Robot Santa, Octopus, Kickball, and capture the flag your child will surely have a blast on the Derryfield's turf. And who wouldn't love a freeze pop to cool down... EVERY DAY!

Cost

Two weeks (one session) of great camp fun is priced based on the time or registration. Price for camp in 2023 is $630. A $100 deposit is   required at the time of registration, the remaining balance will be due by the first day of camp by check.

a colorful competition

Kids are sorted into color teams, separate from their cast groups. Campers get the chance to meet kids of all ages and compete for the  Camp Champ Cup! Campers earn points for kindness, hard work, and spirit days dress up.
Picture
 Derryfield Repertory Theatre is dedicated to inspiring young students to become involved in many forms   of theatre arts. Throughout the day DRT counselors educate and train campers in the areas of drama, music, dance, improvisation, and many other theatrical activities. Campers participate in a whirlwind two weeks of hands-on theatrical classes and workshops, along   with rehearsing for a final showcase production. Campers are given the opportunity and confidence to express themselves creatively on and offstage. Campers learn how to work together as a group to put on a final show at the end of their session. Each child gets encouragement to flourish as a performer, a student, and an artist.
