The US is home to tens of thousands of improvisers, many of whom have never met. Many that have studied the same lessons, the same text, the same tenets, the same teachings, and have grown in their respective homes in community. Those players – all over the world – have dreamed the same dreams, maybe with some variation (I want to work here or there, I hope to be professional, I wish I could keep growing this art); The exceptional ones just want to be GOOD, really – and attempt to live by the same principles we practice on stage: LISTEN. PLAY. SHARE. THINK. FEEL. BREATHE. REACT. UNDERSTAND. BE AFFECTED. BUILD. AMPLIFY. GIVE A DAMN. CONNECT. SAY YES.
Back in 2012, some dreamers got together and all said yes to a novel, monumental thought – one weekend soon, let’s all be together, a new celebratory way – and The Improv Retreat was born. Selling out every single event since, this annual summit gathers 250 campers to commune for a weekend with rotating workshops, events, jams, panels, arts + crafts, experiences, shows, and s’mores. In 2022, we are doing it again – modified to serve 125 of us to safely connect and collaborate, celebrating and growing in this beautiful and transformational weekend.
Workshops, Jams, Shows, Seminars, Cabin Camping, Canoeing, S’mores, Bits –
Community and Art, all around.

The Counselors
There are some really wonderful people that have made this camp an incredible experience. Not only have each of these people guided your general experience over the retreat weekend, but they have all taught workshops, given lectures, and have had the same amount of fun (if not more) alongside all of you at this mega sleepaway retreat. Meet these faces of your past-and-present teachers (and pals).
