It's just not. There are no canoes. There are no cabins. We don't have Indian names (unless you were given one at birth). We have showers. People cook for us. We might make something out of macaroni, but it's doubtful.
Who can come: students who have completed their freshman year of high school, up through students who have just graduated from high school.
Here's what we are: the best camp for improv training if you're a high school student or an educator who works with theatre students. You're going to laugh a lot. Not a little -- a lot. You'll walk away with skills that will benefit you your entire life: trust, confidence, creative problem solving, teamwork, focus and the ability to turn challenges into gold. Simply, improv skills are essential for any actor, but also for anyone who wants to succeed.
All workshops are taught by professionals from ComedySportz Los Angeles, the longest running show in the city. Evenings are filled with different live shows every night, and there's plenty of time for swimming, soccer, softball, dodgeball, classic comedy films, and maybe even macaroni art.
Be sure to check out the low cost scholarships available. You can also get discounts for early registration or for bringing along some friends. Educators willing to assist our counselors can also attend at a lower rate.
It's the opportunity of a lifetime. Don't miss out. We might make macaroni hats...
When:
Session A: Tuesday, July 6 - Saturday, July 10, 2010
Session B: Tuesday, July 20 - Saturday, July 24, 2010 This session is SOLD OUT, sorry!
Where:
Session A: Biola University, La Mirada, CA (a good location for campers in southern LA County or in Orange/San Diego Counties)
Session B: Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, La Canada, CA (in the hills overlooking Pasadena)
This year’s camp will be held in two different locations!
Session A: La Mirada, CA on the campus of Biola University
Biola University has been a long-time supporter of ComedySportz; however, as always, our camp has no religious affiliation of any
kind.
Biola
is a small, private university with a rich heritage. Campers will stay
on private floors in the most recently rennovated student dormitory.
Dormitories are fully air conditioned and offer double and triple
occupancy. Each room is furnished with dressers and desks. Each floor
has group bathrooms. Each floor is divided by gender.
The campus is quiet and peaceful with immaculately clean grounds and full-time security.
Session B: La Canada, CA on the campus of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy
Session B will be held on the campus of Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy in the San Gabriel mountains. FSHA is
a long-time supporter of ComedySportz and our High School
League; however, as always, our camp has no religious affiliation of any
kind.
Originally
built as a luxury hotel in 1927, the Flintridge Biltmore Hotel was
first managed by Senator Frank P. Flint. The hotel was sold in 1931 to
become the school and has been administered ever since by the
Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose. This historical building won
several awards for architecture and is perched on top of the hills with
views overlooking beautiful La Canada on one side and Pasadena and the
Rose Bowl on the other.
Most sleeping
rooms are triple-occupancy with two twin beds and one Aerobed.The rooms
are spacious and come furnished with dressers, desks and fans. Each room
also has its own private bathroom with tub and shower, and walk-in
closets.
The
softball field and soccer field offer a breathtaking view of the
mountains and valley below. There are also plenty of quiet retreats
tucked away near fountains, patios and trees. You'll probably see a deer
or two while you're there.
FSHA's suburban,
hilltop location isolates the campus and its guests from excessive
traffic and passers-by, creating a safe and secure environment.
