Arts-in-Action’s Discovery Camp (DC), in collaboration with The Department of Creative and Festival Arts (DCFA, UWI) and based at the UWI/Republic Bank’s DCFA Building, is one of the country’s leading applied arts, children and youth development initiatives. During the July/August period, DC annually invites children and young people from all over Trinidad and Tobago to learn about their Caribbean identity and heritage through the performing arts: - Drama. Dance, Visual Arts and Music.

DC is committed to addressing the cultural silences and socio-cultural gaps within our education system by focusing on those areas of Caribbean heritage and history which are sometimes overlooked. This camp also has over 20 years commitment to the eradication of Youth Violence, Gender-based Violence- Violence Against Women and Girls.

Though originally for children 5-13 years old, from 2024 onwards, the Discovery Camp will feature a camp initiative that serves children and young people 5-17 years. Held from July 08 to August 04, this camp features drama and theatre, acting, technical theatre, dance, and will end in a youth theatre production.

Special discounts are available to UWI Staff.
