	Filmmaking campers will gain knowledge in every aspect of filmmaking. Our Filmmaking Camp Directors are chosen from professional ranks and some of the top film making schools in the country.  They instruct our campers in important elements of pre-production, production and post-production, where our campers learn hands on filmmaking technique through digital technology and professional software.  Campers will be immersed in story boarding, shot list creation, casting, shooting and digital film editing.

Our camp staff team consists of dedicated theater and entertainment business practitioners who have worked as nurturing leaders in education, camping and their respective fields.  Staff members include interns and counselors age 18+, and Camp Directors who oversee each camp location. Our counselors have trained experience in dance/choreo, voice, drama, film, modeling and performance instruction.   They enjoy working with children to help them gain confidence, grow as performers, build their interdependent communities and most importantly have FUN!

Improv Playhouse has developed a program rubric based on the ACA standards.  The American Camp Association is a community of camp professionals who, for over 100 years, have joined together to share its knowledge and experience and to ensure the quality of camp programs. Just as its membership is diverse and programs distinct, so are the children who come to Improv Playhouse camps to participate in the camp experience. Through what Improv Playhouse teaches, the opportunities it offers, and the example its staff sets, children become part of a sharing community.
