What to know about Improv Camp

Where will the 2010 IMPROV CAMP be held?

IMPROVCAMP is very excited to announce they will be moving to Camp KawKawa in Hope BC for the 2010 event.

What should I pack?

Even if you've been to camp before it's always a good reminder of what to bring. Here is a copy of our packing list:

The Kakawa facility is outfitted with cabins, which have bunk beds (mattresses included). There is a dining hall and an industrial kitchen where meals are prepared by our certified staff. The camp also includes full modern washrooms (with showers), playing fields, performance tents, and a large Dining hall which we will convert into a working theatre for performances.

How do I get to IMPROV CAMP?

Campers can arrive at camp one of two ways:

  1. Live in the Vancouver area?

    Campers can be dropped off at OUR SOON TO BE DETERMINED drop off location at 10am on August 23rd. We will have staff there to meet them and to help them board Busses that will leave at 11am. Parents can pick up campers at the dock at 1pm when camp is over.

    **The camp runs from August 23rd - 30th

  2. Live outside of the Vancouver area?

    Firstly, please note that we love folks traveling to our camp from far away! That’s why campers from outside of BC get a discount on registration!

    Campers traveling from afar can take the bus or a flight to Vancouver (not Abbotsford) and we’ll transport you by bus to the Camp. We would ask that your flight arrive in the morning and not the late afternoon so that we can get everyone to the camp on time! If you are traveling from the USA please be sure to have your passports and other travel documents in order.
