This popular camp brings together the fun physical challenges of circus with the endless potential of storytelling to make an action-packed week of Circus Theater. Students explore single point trapeze, aerial silks, tumbling, partner acrobatics, juggling, balancing, creative movement, and more in a creative and collaborative environment. 

Throughout the week students are encouraged to add their imaginations to the physical disciplines: tumbling like ninjas, spinning like cyclones, and collaborating with peers and directors to create a unique circus show for family and friends. Our small camp size enables teaching artists to challenge, support, and connect with each camper, creating an unforgettable week of fun. 

All-day camps include a trip to the park (weather permitting)

Please see our schedules to the left or visit Uplifter for scheduling information.
