We're always on the lookout to find cool new summer camp programs to share with you. (Well, they might not actually be new...but they're new to us!)

Anyway, we wanted to turn you on to the Second City Comedy Camps in Hollywood where you child can spend part of their summer doing improv and writing comedy...at summer camp!

This looks like a pretty fun program! Campers exercise their sense of play through improv games and exercises that are the foundation of The Second City’s unique brand of comedy.  (I remember watching Second City Comedy on TV as a kid...so cool!)

While your child's at camp, the Second City camp counselors and teachers will work with your young "improviser "to help enhance their ability to communicate with others and develop confidence in their own creativity. Campers work as part of an ensemble which improves their teamwork skills. Camps end with a show where the students show off what they’ve learned. Parent will love seeing the result of their campers' experience!

If you're interested in this program, one thing we noticed from their website is that they appear to fill up pretty quickly because their camps attract campers and students from all over the world to learn improv, make friends, and perform on stage. No previous experience is needed. But check them out as soon as you can so you can lock in space for this summer. Let us know how it goes!

Unique Los Angeles Summer Camps

Many of us have the same visual impression when we think of summer camp.  It's almost a common stereotype:  Horseback riding, archery, drama, dance, arts and crafts, sports and games, swimming lessons, skits and stunts, s'mores around the camp fire, singing songs, and sleeping in tents and cabins are the general impression most of us have when we think of camp.  All of these fun activities generally comprise what many of us view as the "traditional" or "classic" camp experience.

L.A. has its fair share of traditional camp programs. Tumbleweed Day Camp, Cali Camp, Camp Kinneret are three day camps that come immediately to mind, while Canyon Creek Summer Camp and Camp Osito Rancho for Girls are two Los Angeles sleepaway camp programs with traditional slants.

Some of the Specialty Summer Camps are the Most Unique and Outstanding Summer Programs in Los Angeles.

You can't go wrong sending your child to traditional camp program. In fact, we contend every child should attend a traditional camp program at least once in their life.  It's part of growing up -- almost a rite of passage! And yet, there's also a potential downside to focusing completely on traditional programs, which is that you may inadvertently overlook many of the unique specialty summer camp programs  opportunities available for your kids.

And many of L.A.'s most unique camps also happen to be among the best!

How to Know if a Specialty Camp Might be Right For You

If your child has a particular interest in some specific activity, or enjoying participating in certain games or other endeavors more than others, a specialty summer camp program could be for you.

The other day we sponsored a Camp Fair at UCLA where some 60 unique specialty summer camps programs were on display. We saw a fencing camps, cooking camps, robotics camps, beach and surf camps, technology camps, science camps and so many others almost too numerous to name.

Seeing so many impressive kinds of unique camps at the Camp Fair inspired us to help you get started on your journey to seek out some of L.A.'s most unique camp programs.  We complied a few different options for you below, categorized by their program focus.  If any of these program interest your child, you can visit their websites for more information.

The following is only a sample of the many types of amazing and unique summer camps available in Los Angeles this summer.  But this list of camps, 16 in all, should be enough to get you started!

There's a WHOLE LOT MORE Amazing and Unique Summer Camps in L.A.!

Remember, there so many more unique programs available for your child to enjoy this summer. If they enjoy skateboarding, for instance, you can Google "Skateboarding summer camps in L.A." (or some similar phrase) and see what comes up. Our guess is you'll discover a host of exciting skateboarding summer camps your child would absolutely love.  Skateboarding camp is a unique concept but there will be many available options, we're confident of that!

And there's just one more thing we wanted to pass along...

When you choose a camp with activities your child enjoys the most, you're practically ensuring they'll love their camp experience. You don't have to deal with any unknown factors, or hope against hope they'll enjoy camp because you'll already know ahead of time they're going to spend their summer immersed in a activities they're interested in the most. This only improves their camp experience and makes them love camp that much more.
