I haven't been to TNT, but I have been involved with Moose Camp for the last 4 years. It's so much fun, you learn so much, and I met one of my best friends my second year there. One of my other best friends came last year, and just signed up to go back yesturday. (That's DJ, Dan.) (My other best friend isn't into clowning, but he's the only person I still talk to from highschool, the only real friend I had in school, aside from some of the teachers.) But any way, if you come you will have a blast!

Maybe see if it can be written off as education? I know that some people can, and some people can get their churches (if they clown in the ministry) or the hospitals they work at (if they clown in the hospitals) to pay some or all of the cost for the week. It's part of keeping their employee up-to-date on techniques for what they are doing.

As someone who has been to a lot of conventions I would say I have learned the most at Moosecamp
And last year they had a Priest take Brendas class
But the best thing was making new friends the cost seems to be exspensive but its not really if you consider you room and meals are included that why most conventions seem to cost less

Mooseburger $795
bus to camp $50
Airfare $500to $800
Smiles you will have and smiles you will create PRICELESS

I will be attending again this year so I hope to see you there
You didnt say where you are from maybe some one who is going can travel with you

Thanks! I'm working up my courage to commit to go. I'm terrified! But I know it would be a once in a lifetime (unless I go again, LOL) experience.

Pinky, if you would like to talk to Tricia (Pricilla Mooseburger) herself just to get a better idea she is usually in the office and more than willing to talk to you. Usually Katie or Mary will answer the phone, just ask if Tricia or Pricilla is available to talk about Moosecamp. The number is (800)973-6277.

That's EXACTLY how most of us felt before attending. You're in good company.

Let me see if I have this right...

Sassy, you have sent in your application to Moosecamp to go this year?

Razzle, you want to go or you have decided to go this year?

I am just trying to get things straight. I believe Mike B. said he has signed up,Harpoetta will be helping out with everything at camp, Jamz will be there, Fred will be instructing again, I'll be there, Dottie is going to come and watch the Big Show... We might just meed a Clown Forum Wing at the resort. This is GREAT! And if the two of you are coming and Pinky also... Woo Hoo!

Thanks Dan. I am still trying to get my hubby to give me the thumbs up on whether we can swing it or not. He's going to look into whether we have enough frequent flier miles to get me there gratis. After I know that, I'll be more able to make my final decision.
Thanks again, you're super helpful!
Hugs and mugs,
