Wear comfortable clothing and bring a lunch.

Summer Camps 2008- One Week or Two Week improvisation and sketch comedy writing sessions (Monday thru Friday) throughout the summer.  Spend part of your summer at The Second City where you can work out your creative muscles in our improvisation camps for ages 10 to 17.
