CHIM lite You realize that all your life you have been coasting along as if you were in a dream. Suddenly, facing the trials of the last few days, you have come alive. It’s all suddenly obvious to you. You just have to concentrate. All the energy and time you’ve wasted — it’s a sin. But without the experience you’ve gained, taking risks, taking responsibility for failure, how could you have understood? You sense yourself more aware, more open to new ideas. You’ve learned a lot about Morro… er, Summerisle. It’s hard to believe how ignorant you were — but now you have so much more to learn!

Your highly distinguished theater instructors are here to guide you through wardrobe malfunctions, host madcap mixers, improvise auditions and perhaps also nude musical numbers?

We aim to be the campiest camp of all.
