Creepshow Camps

Young devotees of Horror, Sci-Fi and Suspense have a summer camp to call their own! Creepshow Camps face fright with curiosity and creativity, revealing the secret techniques behind scary entertainments vitality and power. Workshops led by our dedicated staff of teaching artists engage participants, hands-on, in activities that teach and reinforce the fundamental skills in monster make-up, special effects, sleight of hand and stage combat. In our theatre venue, campers screen classic horror movies and rehearse on-stage for a farewell performance given for family and friends at the end of every Creepshow Camp session.

Each session is led by the Camps director Russell Blackwood, the creator of the Bay Area Shakespeare Camps who founded the Creepshow Camps in 2006, and guest artists from Thrillpeddlers (voted Best Theatre Company by SF Weeklys Best of the Bay 2007 Readers Poll). Each staff member brings with them an unmatched expertise, insight and exuberance for creating on-stage thrills and chills.

During the summer of 2008, The Hypnodrome will offer four two-week day camp sessions, each with a different line-up of activities and productions, that meet weekdays from 9:00 a.m. - 3:30 pm. Campers may be dropped off as early as 8:30 am and aftercare is avilable until 5:30 pm for an additional fee.

Most programs are designed for campers ages 9 - 14, though we will consider campers that fall just outside that age range on a case by case basis.

The Hypnodrome also offers weekend camp sessions during the school-year!
