The core of our outreach work is our performances and workshops for kids in the community and around the Northwest.

Every summer, we take Jet City Improv across the state of Washington to perform summer camps for kids with life-altering illnesses or disabilities (such as cancer, Muscular Dystrophy, juvenile diabetes, physical disabilities, or developmental disabilities), or kids recovering from the loss of a loved one.

We bring laughter to kids that need it the most, at no cost to the organizations that operate the camps.
These kids have to deal with hardship all year round, but at these camps they can laugh, play, be with one another, and just get to feel like being a kid. As the camp counselors tell us, Jet City Improv’s performances are one of the highlights of their stay at the camps, and they always greet us with excitement, smiles and cheers, because they know that as soon as we arrive, they are just minutes away from laughing at a great show, shouting out suggestions for our improv scenes, and sometimes even joining us in the fun on stage.

In 2024, Jet City Improv continued its mission of bringing laughter and connection to youth across Washington. We performed 14 shows and led 2 workshops across 9 unique camp programs, reaching more than 900 campers, family members, and staff — all at no cost to the camps we serve.

This summer marked some incredible milestones, including our 25th year performing at Camp Eyabsut for young burn survivors and our 24th year at Camp Goodtimes, serving youth impacted by cancer.

We don’t want to turn down any camp that requests a visit from Jet City Improv and a chance to laugh in addition to a great summer camp experience. Please help us make that goal a reality.

Dear Mike,
