First, we received a 90 minute class on the art of comedic improvisation (graduating class photo shown) which can provide key tour-guide skills and tools. We then adjourned for a fun dinner among the dozens of food trucks at Fort Mason on Friday nights. Finally we capped off the evening with preferred seating at the public BATS Improv showcase.

Join National Park Volunteer Steve Johnson on a walk around the main post of the San Francisco Presidio as he describes how the area has
changed over time, from the nearby Ohlone village, to the Spanish and Mexican presidio, to the long presence of the U.S. Army, and
finally to the transition to a national park. Along the way he will point out the architecture of different periods, notable people who have

There are food trucks on the weekends, and people can have a picnic on the grounds after the walk.
