This week in press releases: Improv Camp

Do you know a creative teenager? Or one you'd just like out of the house for a week this summer? Or maybe you're one yourself (in which case what are you doing here? Did you get lost on the way to porn?). Got just the thing for you. Spread the word. Tell your friends. It's something I would have loved if I were ever creative or if I were ever a teenager.

This is IMPROVCAMP.

WHAT IS IMPROVCAMP?

IMPROVCAMP is a unique week-long event that draws in teens from all over Canada and the world to learn and develop skills in improvisational theatre. Now in its 13th year, IMPROVCAMP is a hotbed for funny teens looking to share their love of comedy and performance while forming friendships that will last a lifetime. Did we mention that it’s also lots of fun? Participants receive top notch instruction and supervision, working with over twenty professional instructors, many of them former participants who have gone on to spread their love of improv to the next generation.

WHY IMPROV?IMPROVCAMP draws its roots from the Canadian Improv Games (improv.ca) which has been teaching positivity, problem solving and storytelling through improvisation for the past 37 years though it’s National Tournament, with teams participating from high schools all across Canada. Improvisation theatre has proven to be instrumental to development in youth, teaching communication and quick thinking skills useful in all walks of life. Improvisation opens doors to countless professional, scholastic and personal opportunities throughout a lifetime. The benefits of improv training have been lauded by parents nation-wide, increasing demand for programming outside of school. Hence, IMPROVCAMP, and its fantastic continued success.

WHO SHOULD GO TO IMPROVCAMP?
IMPROVCAMP is open to teens from ages 13 to 18. No previous improv or performance experience is necessary and each camper’s experience is tailored to their individual needs. All you need is a willingness to learn! IMPROVCAMP consistently sells out when registration opens in February, and discounts are available for those who sign up early, so act fast in order to secure a spot, as well as to ensure a summer filled with laughter, learning and fast friendships.
