CIG summer camps are week-long summer camps where young improvisers receive comprehensive instruction in improvisational theatre by professionals from all over North America. Campers will be organized into ensembles that will travel from workshop to workshop, gaining skills and learning about their craft. There are performances each night, and many fav summer camp activities.
Are you inspired by supporting young people to deepen their connection with themselves, new friends, and the world around them? Are you ready to spend a week deep-diving into improvisational theatre? As camp counsellors, first aider, or trainers, you will make friends for life, eat delicious food, and make a huge difference in the lives of young people.
Our team is made up of mature, creative, and nurturing individuals that are capable of providing each camper with a safe, supportive, and memorable camp experience. Lots of energy, a positive attitude, and love are a must! It’s a short week but we cram it full of action. We focus on creating communities of belonging by connecting with each other through improv and provide an environment support.
Both Improv U and Improv Camp will be hiring counsellors and trainers to work the week of camp, on site.
