Circus returns for summer 2024 with 888 Monkeys! Two Exciting Sessions! Two weeks per session!

Come one, come all!! It’s… Circus Time! Join us in a two-week session of Circus Arts.  The first week of each session will focus on skill building in the following areas: Partner Acrobatics, Tumbling, Aerial, Ball Ball and Rope Walking, many forms of manipulative miscellanea (a.k.a., juggling), Physical Comedy, and other circus skills.  For the second week we will focus on act and show creation. After one week of exploring circus disciplines, campers choose their favorite activities to focus on.  As such, campers have a strong voice and personal connection with regard to content and an opportunity to work collaboratively towards a common goal.  See you at the circus with our friends from 888 Monkeys!

No two days (much less, two sessions) are ever alike, so sign up for both and let campers deep dive into multiple disciplines. One session may be aerials and wire walking, the next may be juggling and comedy. No matter what circus skills campers choose, coaches/mentors will stress the intangibles, such as: the link between daily practice and improvement, personal bests, non-linear growth/progress, collaboration, and celebrating small victories.

Session 1: 7/8 – 7/19 (two-week session)
Session 2: 7/22 – 8/2 (two-week session)

Camp hours are 9:00am-4:00pm. Extended Care is available 4:00-6:00pm.
