2009 Summer Camps

If it was easy, it wouldn’t be much fun – and we like to have fun! No matter what skills you have coming in to one of our camps, we will challenge you to learn a variety of new skills, and to take your existing skills as far as you can. You will work harder than you have every worked before, and experience a summer like none you have ever had before.

Whether this is your first experience with circus, or you're looking for advanced level training, you will find it in our programs. During our training weeks, the day is broken into a series of skills classes, with each class focused on a specific circus art. Classes available may include acrobatic arts such as tumbling and hoop diving; equilibristic arts such as stilt walking, unicycle riding or wire walking; manipulative arts such as juggling and diabolo; aerial arts such as static trapeze, Aerial Fabrics, Lyra and Spanish Web; and drama arts such as stage presence, clowning, and physical comedy. At the end of each practice week we invite parents and friends to come and see the work that has been going on.

During show week (either the second week of a two-week camp, or a dedicated week) we will put together a full 45-60 minute show around the camps theme. Campers will experience all that goes into a show, including planning and practicing group acts, polishing individual acts, to working out costumes and sound, show order, and more. Show week includes a dress rehearsal (usually on Thursday), a camp show on Friday afternoon, and for some camps a final show for parents Friday evening.

Circus arts campers should wear a unitard or biketard and bring a bathing suit, towel, water bottle, and change of clothes everyday. Each camper will also receive a detailed handbook allowing them to continue practicing their skills outside of camp.
