Calling all creative, fun, and artistic tweens & teens! The Improv Club is a fun, supportive, and experiential learning program designed especially for middle schoolers who are ready to play, laugh, and grow their confidence in a fun, supportive environment. We use improvisation and other unscripted games & exercises designed to:

Each session is packed with high-energy games, collaborative challenges, and plenty of laughter. The focus isn’t on “being funny,” but on learning valuable life skills like communication, adaptability, and trust while having an absolute blast.

Whether your child is outgoing, shy, imaginative, or somewhere in between, The Improv Club is a welcoming space to make new friends, try something new, and discover the joy of saying “yes” to creativity.

Let your child play, explore, and build confidence one game at a time!
