Default Clown Camp vs Mooseberger

I'm planning ahead to spring/summer 2005 to get some real clown training. Are there any recommendations on which training event is better... clown camp at Univ. of Wisc. or Mooseberger Camp, and why do you think your choice is better? Or... is there a different or better opportunity?

Default Mooseburger

Hey there! Welcome aboard the ole USS Clownster....

Hold on tight to the railing, as this ship takes some funny sharp turns...


I've been to Mooseburger camp on the road with Chuck Sidlow, Frosty Little, Joe Barney, and the Mooseburgers when they visited Arlington Tx in March, and I have to say that was a great experience. It was shorter than the one in MN, just three days of intensive classes, shows, and fun, and we got to perform for a huge group of underprivledged kids the last day.

Since it's the only one I've done, I'm not sure how it compares to the others, but I would that this one is definitely a great place to start learning.

I agree with you Gilbert... Here in Brazil, we don't have the same... I would like so much to go, someday, on one of these... But it's so expensive for me... Imagine it...

I have Strutter's makeup book. I read all I can on the internet. I have several books and videos on balloon twisting. I've spent 46 years with the real of "Mose" ... if that doesn't leave you with a sense of humor, nothing will.
