Theatre Bristol offering summer camp June 9-13

Theatre Bristol proudly announces its 2025 children’s summer camp “The StART of Adventure,” running June 9-13, 2025, at 512 State Street, Bristol, Tennessee. Theatre Bristol is pleased to continue this popular camp for seven to twelve-year-olds, and one half-day camp for five and six-year-olds. Registration is now open online at www.TheatreBristol.org.

Campers will explore theatre and acting skills from talented and highly respected teachers and theatre veterans in the area. Guided by the Theatre Bristol Youth Service Board, campers spend the week learning acting skills, creative movement, music, costuming, makeup design, set design, props, and more with this year’s theme of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. At the close of the week, campers perform a demonstration at the newly-acquired Cameo Theatre for family and friends.

“Many of us got our start in theatre at camp,” said Camp Coordinator, Zaiah Gray. “We have all had wonderful opportunities on and off stage, and I look forward to seeing how these next generations become involved. I know our founder, Cathy DeCaterina would be proud.”

Camp runs Monday to Friday June 9-13, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Registration is available online. The cost per camper is $175, with a family discount of each additional child reduced to $150. Half day camp is $30 per camper. Financial assistance applications are also available. Space is limited, and a waitlist is available as needed. Registration closes May 31 or when full.
