Yes, Go to oyur library and see what they have on clowning. By the time you get through the books and research all the names netioned in the books, you may find you don't need to go to the expensive camps.
But I would any way. WHere else can you go and feel completely comfy in your clown shoes!

Thank you all for the great advice and the great welcome. I am looking into buying some books to start. I am one of those weird people that need's a class so I can be told I am doing it right. So I am looking for classes here in Chicago, and will probably go to a camp this coming summer. Thanks again for all the advice
