ABOUT THE CAMP

The trapeze classes are one of our most popular events!

Our focus is on FUN!
We inspire campers to discover their unique sense of creative expression by providing opportunities to reach new potentials and expand skills.

Circus Camp is a day-camp experience designed to introduce children to circus, performing, and visual arts in a safe and noncompetitive environment. Camper age begins at 5 years old and includes teens. Any level of physical development & skill is welcomed.

As a member of the AYCO (American Youth Circus Organization), USAG (United States of America Gymnastics) and ISERA (International Special Events & Recreation Association), we provide campers with the opportunity to learn something new and exciting every day, while developing their unique skills.

Circus Camp began in 1992 by our Fearless Flying Founder Carrie Heller. Her inspiration and vision is what makes this camp such an amazing experience for thousands of children every year.

Every "Circus Star" will choose from a wide variety of activities including:

  • Trapeze
  • Triple Trapeze
  • Spanish Web
  • Juggling
  • Magic
  • Clowning
