Hello Parents! We're delighted to introduce you to Kids 'N Comedy, the leading comedy school for children in New York City. This dynamic institution offers a range of classes including stand-up comedy, advanced writer workshops, and even a summer camp! With programs designed for kids between the ages of 10 and 18, this school is a buzzing hub of laughter and learning. They even organize monthly live stand-up comedy shows, providing a real-world stage for budding comedians to showcase their talent. At Kids ‘N Comedy, our experienced staff is comprised of accomplished writers and comedians from New York City. Their shared journey is what makes them so passionate about this project. They recall their teenage years, when they didn't have access to a program like this one, and are committed to ensuring today's youth don't miss out on this unique opportunity. Through their dedication, they aim to fill the void they once felt by providing the comic experience to the young generation. We invite you to get to know the brilliant minds behind Kids ‘N Comedy. This talented team is not just teaching comedy, they're nurturing creativity, confidence, and a love for laughter in our children. They're shaping the future stand-up comedians, writers, and performers of tomorrow. So, come on parents, let's meet these comedy wizards and discover how they're making a difference in our children's lives.

Surprise Lake Camp is a place like no other. For more than 100 years, young people have been coming here to make lifelong memories and friendships. We believe in the power of community and the importance of fostering deep connections with each other and our natural environment. Our Jewish values and identity are embedded in all that we do, guiding us as we help campers to unplug, grow, and develop skills and confidence that will stay with them long after their time at camp. We are proud of our incredible natural setting, which has been a part of Surprise Lake Camp’s storied history as the nation’s oldest Jewish sleepaway camp. At Surprise Lake Camp, we strive to create a home away from home for our campers. Our days are filled with meaningful activities that honor our Jewish values and traditions, while connecting us to the beauty of nature. We are dedicated to helping each camper discover their unique strengths and develop the skills they need to succeed in life. We believe that the friendships and community connections formed here will remain with our campers for a lifetime. Our camp’s incredible beauty and long-standing history as the nation’s longest-running Jewish sleepaway camp make us proud to call this special place home.
