Second City Summers - Summer Youth Programs at The Second City

Know some kids who’d like some Second City silliness? Through July and August our three day camps run Tuesday through Thursday 10am - 3pm. All week long teen & youth camps are from 9am-4pm Monday to Friday.

We offer 3 summer camps for teens & youth (10-18 yrs)...

* Character Boot Camp - explore characters and physicality through character

* Story Boot Camp - learn the importance of story and narrative within your scenes

* Improv Games Boot Camp - explore the game of the scene

Our camps consist of improvisation taught by talented, experienced Second City instructors. Through active, fun improv exercises, students develop listening and communication skills, build on teamwork, and reward each other with a good dose of hearty laughter – all within our creative and safe studio environment. Youth & Teens are welcome to take as many camp sessions as they would like - the fun is ever-changing

The Second City has launched the careers of countless actors, writers, directors and producers, and has influenced American and Canadian comedy like no other theater. Our summer programs attract students from all over the country and abroad.
