“Mom – I really like being funny. And I don’t think I’m shy anymore.” – 2023 camper
“I honestly think it’s one of the best, most creative summer camps out there. I really think you are doing great stuff.” – 2023 camper parent
“We loved that it was just a nice casual place that emphasized the relationships and interactions among the kids! Perfect!” – 2023 camper parent
Teaching positivity through improv since 2009!
Learning Improv develops creativity, teamwork, confidence, performance skills and so much more!
Hideout Improv Camps are usually 50% or more returners because we have:
low staff/child ratios
game based curriculum
engaged artists as teachers
community time for making friends
an historic downtown theater *
Kids learn the basics of improv, story telling, and stagecraft mostly through playing games –
because having fun is the first rule of improv!
Everyday we play games, create stories, perform scenes, and generally have a blast.
On the final day we show off our amazing new skills in a performance for friends and family.
