Dungeons and Dragons Camp: Adventure Awaits This Summer

Attention, Charlotte-area D&D fans! We’d love to see you at our in person, half-day camps this July in Davidson, North Carolina.

Young Dragonslayers Camp is a great way to:

  • Meet new local friends

  • Try out a variety of D&D-style games

  • Get tips and tricks from a professional Game Master

  • Learn about story structure, character creation, and improvisation

We had a blast running camp last summer, and we’re excited to meet new players around an actual table for some real, live, D&D at our Dungeons and Dragons Camp!

Dungeons and Dragons Camp - The Details

We’re partnering with Davidson Community Players this year to offer our D&D programming as part of their super popular summer camp programming. Theater kids are more than welcome to apply!

Location: We’ll meet at the Armour Street Theatre in Davidson, which should provide a suitably dramatic backdrop for our adventures.

Dates: Camp meets July 1st-July 5th, Monday-Friday.

Times: Tween camp (ages 10-12) meets 9am-12pm; Teen camp (ages 12-16) meets 1pm-4pm.

We deliberately keep our Dungeons and Dragons Camp groups very small—6 players maximum—to make sure everyone gets plenty of individual attention and time to play. We’ll have adult facilitators onsite at all times, plus extra support from DCP’s staff.

The Benefits
(What Kids Say About Camp)

Last year’s campers had great things to say about our Dungeons and Dragons Camp program—that’s why we’re back for another round! More than anything, we want kids to have a fun summer experience. But if they pick up some bonus benefits along the way, that’s awesome, too. D&D gives kids the opportunity to:

  • Practice social skills with peers in a natural, non-awkward way

  • Learn how to confidently lead in a group setting

  • Meet likeminded local peers

  • Learn a new skill that they can use to connect with friends

90% of last year’s campers said they felt like a better Game Master after attending our camp, and 85% said they felt more comfortable leading a group in general. We like those odds!

  • Camp is open to tweens and teens ages 12-16. If your child is slightly outside this age range, email us.

  • Kids need a basic understanding of what D&D is like, so they know what to expect. It’s okay if they haven’t played a lot of D&D on their own! Check out our What is D&D? blog and video post to start learning about the game.
