What is it?

ComedySportz® Improv Camp for Kids is an amazing half-day camp. After 17 years of performing our improvisation show that is great for all ages, we have found that the life lessons of improvisation are perfect lessons for children. Each class program is one week long and offers a graduation performance by the students.

What are the basics?

Through the Lessons Of Laughter®, students are taught so much more than learning how to act silly.
ComedySportz® teaches kids how to accept, connect, commit, communicate, trust, play as a team, how to bounce back from mistakes, and how to be a leader.

While learning these life lesson skills the students are also meeting new friends, and grow in confidence. Each program is taught by a certified ComedySportz® Instructor.

It’s no wonder why ComedySportz was voted one of Richmond’s best camps for children by Style Weekly.

Classes typically run 9am-12 Noon and are Tuesday through Friday during the summer months. Improv Camp for Kidz is for ages 9-13!
