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!

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.

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.
