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 Carrie Heller, our Fearless Flying Founder. 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
  • Mime
  • Puppetry
  • Theatre Skills
  • Face Painting
  • Arts & Crafts
  • Hand Balancing
  • Acrobatics
  • Storytelling
  • Music
  • Tightwire Walking
  • Unicycle
  • And Much More!

HEALTH & SAFETY

The health and safety of every camper is paramount at Circus Camp. We always have staff members who are certified in First Aid available. A quiet place is provided for minor ailments. Our favorite song at camp... feel free to sing along... Safety Safety Safety, Safety Safety Safety. We're working on a second verse.

Juggling is a great way to develop hand-eye coordination, and a fun way to show off!

We also have a CIT (Counselors in Training) program for teens age 13 and up. No experience is necessary, just an interest in playing and helping. CIT's learn the fundamentals of child supervision and staff responsibilities while participating in activities. Please send an email to info@circuscamp.org if you're interested, and include your contact info so we can get back in touch with you.

Plenty of new friends to make every week!
