CAMP NEWS & STORIES

As we grow, adding Camp Improv Utopia Yosemite to our family in 2016, it means our help to the improv community grows as well. In 2015, we were able to give back more to improv then ever before. Helping improv theater, festivals, and improvisors access to things like education, building materials, support and more! These…

This year we have moved our camp to the beautiful Camp Trout Lake in Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania. The new camp is State of the Art with spacious cabins with bathrooms and showers in…
