circus camp ages 9-14

Circus camp offers a wide variety of disciplines under our fully equipped big top tents, offering campers a chance to try everything, and then to find the niche(s) and focus on whatever they wish. (swinging trapeze, static trapeze, halo, hoop, hammock, silks, mini tramp, stilts, juggling, object manipulation and more. Each session is 2 week (with exception to session 5), and campers will rehearse and perform a show under the big top, on the last day of their camp session and their friends and families can come enjoy!

intro to circus camp ages 6-8

Intro to circus camp is exactly that: an intro to circus camp! Campers enjoy different varieties of circus (aerial, balancing and object manipulation), with small sized equipment to fit their bodies, and introducing basics. For campers who need a little more challenge, we can, but keep their developmental stages in mind! Intro camp, we do half day of circus, and other fun activities in the afternoon (crafts, arts, exploring nature) in the beautiful waterfront parks.  Each session is 2 weeks, and on the last Thursday, friends and family can come for an open house to see what campers have been learning (in a casual low pressure environment). 

counselors in training - circus cit age 15

The Circus CIT program will be a little different this year. There will be only one CIT session offered, that will get their leadership circus training week June 29th-July 3rd, the same training week as counselors, to get proper circus specific training. This program is for folks interested in leadership skills and/through circus! They will do their placement hours for the following 3 weeks during sessions 1A, 1B & 2A to complete the program practicing their leadership and instruction skills with campers. We have limited spaces for the CIT program. Selected applicants will be contacted within 2 weeks of registration/application submission with further details about program entry. 

**your camper will be automatically put in the camp upon registration based upon their age. if there are special circumstances, please contact us directly at [email protected]
​ (for example, your child is 15 but wants to do 1 more year as a camper, rather then cit)
