One Week.
One Stage.
One Story.

Join a Christ-centered theater camp where you can build real skills, find your kind of people, and use your gifts for God's glory.

This isn't your average summer camp.


DGPA Summer Camp is an immersive theater experience where using your gifts becomes an act of worship.

Experience a Week You’ll Never Forget

DGPA Summer Camp is a one-week immersive theater experience where young performers build real skills, find community, and discover what it means to use their gifts for God's glory. From the very first day to the final curtain call, every moment is designed to grow you as a performer, a teammate, and a follower of Christ. This isn't just a great week — it's the kind of experience you’ll be talking about for years. By the end of the week, you will:

  • Walk away with real theater skills both on and off the stage

  • Find a community of like-minded performers who share their faith

  • Grow closer to God through worship, storytelling, and using your gifts with purpose

  • Leave energized, encouraged, and strengthened in who God made you to be

The Tiny Train That Tried

Camp: June 22-26, Performances: June 26 - 6:00pm, June 27 - 11:00am

Davis Community Magnolia Event Center

Ages 6-12

In just five days, you and your cast will bring to life an adorable production about loving others, trusting God, and doing hard things even when they feel impossible. You'll dive into rehearsals, learn choreography and music, develop your character, and take the stage in front of a live audience. Every morning starts with worship and time in the Word, and when you're not rehearsing, you'll be part of one of our four production teams learning the real behind-the-scenes skills that make a show come together. So that by the end of the week, you can:

  • Step on stage with confidence in front of a live audience

  • Learn real production skills on one of our four teams

  • Build friendships with like-minded performers who share your faith

  • Grow closer to God through worship, storytelling, and using your gifts for His glory

Performances: Friday, June 26 - 6:00pm, Saturday June 27 - 11:00am

Lifepoint Church

Ages 8-14

In this fun filled week, you'll explore one of the most important questions you'll ever ask — who am I, and where do I belong? Through a full week of rehearsals, music and dance, character work, and behind-the-scenes production training, you'll bring this heartfelt story of identity and belonging to life on stage. And just like the character you'll portray, you'll discover that the answer to who you are is found not in what you can do, but in who God made you to be. So that by the end of the week, you can:

  • Step on stage with a performance that points others to Christ

  • Learn real production skills on one of our four teams

  • Find your place in a community of performers who share your faith

  • Walk away knowing who you are and whose you are

Performances: Friday, July 10 - 6:00pm, Saturday July 11 - 2:00pm

Registration for both summer camps opens on Friday, March 27 at 9:00 A.M.

What Camp Looks Like

Before camp even begins, you'll audition via video and receive your script weeks in advance — so when you walk in on Monday morning, you're already off-book and ready to create.

From there, each day is packed with rehearsals, team time, worship, and yes, plenty of fun. Camp runs Monday through Thursday from 9am to 3pm, with an all-day rehearsal and performance on Friday evening. Saturday is a second performance that brings the week to an epic close.

Here's what a typical week looks like:

  • Daily worship — every morning starts with devotion, prayer, and praising God together as a full cast

  • Rehearsal blocks — blocking, choreography, vocal training, and character development

  • Production teams — when you're not on stage, you're working on one of four teams: Hair & Makeup, Props, Sets, or Costumes

  • Fun time — lunch breaks include group games, laughter, and time to just be a kid

You were made for this. Come ready to work hard, laugh loud, and leave changed.

Every Great Camp Needs a Great Team

Every production at DGPA Summer Camp comes to life because of volunteers who show up with a servant's heart. It's a week of hard work, big laughs, and watching young people discover how their gifts can glorify God. There's nothing quite like it. If you're looking for a way to use your gifts for God's glory, this is it.

One week. One stage.
One story worth telling.

And you were made to tell it.
