Opportunities for 5th-8th graders are available through the Derby Recreation Commission. At this age, being friends is highly important. This interaction is seen daily at the Recreation Center as they socialize amongst snack and video machines.


Throughout the year, a co-ed fitness program centers on fitness equipment and introduction to physical activities such as walleyball, kickboxing, etc.

5th/6th grade parties feature a DJ, court games, giveaways, movies and concessions. 7th/8th grade dances focus on themes with a DJ and sometimes Karaoke.

The Great Egg Hunt held during the spring for this age group sees flashlights hunting down eggs filled with candy and prizes.

A variety of sport camps are held during the summer months.

This age group is attracted to volunteer opportunities with swim lessons, Summer Playground and art programs.
