We offer two payment plan options at checkout, 50/50 or weekly. The 50/50 payment plan allows you to pay half upfront. The other half will be automatically charged to your card 15 days later. The Weekly payment plan allows you to pay 20% upfront with an additional 20% charged every week thereafter until completed. If neither of those would work for you, our training center would be happy to discuss a customized plan that fits your needs. You can set up a custom payment plan by contacting studentsuccess@secondcity.com

Campers explore the fundamentals of improv as taught and performed at The Second City and develop skills like creative thinking, self-confidence, listening, brainstorming, team building, empathy, and communication, all while having loads of laughs. They’re introduced to basic scene structure, the art of storytelling and character development through the study of classic Second City scenes and other written materials.
Mornings usually start with improvisation before moving into comedy writing and specialty skills (like stand-up comedy, satire-writing or clowning) after lunch. There are also breaks built into the morning and afternoon sessions.
