CAMPS

BUG FREE.

CAMP OUT!


Sometimes kids are tired of Camp Runnamuk, soccer, ballet, or especially math camps. These camps are designed to build friendships, bring laughter, open creativity, grow confidence, and learn a lot of cool things under the guise of Comedy.


Any of these camps can be integrated into a home school, after school, or an existing summer day camp (YMCA, performing arts, film camp) programs at your location or scheduled at our theatre. 

For more info on any one of our camps please fill out this form.
