Going to summer camp no longer means that kids will be weaving bracelets and making s'mores—there are some unusual summer camp types out there that are more tailored towards a specific interest, like the Kids 'N Comedy camp, which helps kids bring out their inner funny.
Kids 'N Comedy calls for kids between the ages of 10-18 who are "creative (weird), intelligent (nerd), and full of interesting opinions (extremely unbalanced)" to take part in improv, acting and stand-up comedy. Groups at Kids 'N Comedy are limited to 10 kids per session, so that everyone gets a turn.
Instead of taking place in the bushes somewhere, this camp is held at the Gotham Comedy Club in Manhattan and promises air conditioning. Plus, at the end of it all, there's a graduation show—making someone laugh has got to be more rewarding than spending your summer collecting merit badges.
