When summer rolls around, it usually means it's time for camp. And what better camp is there than circus camp? You can fulfill your dream of running away to join the circus, learn all kinds of cool tricks and get plenty of exercise. So pack your bags and turn your vacation into a three ring circus!
Circus Camps - The Warm-up
Whether you're an
accomplished athlete or just want to learn how to ride a
unicycle, circus camp will help you find your
hidden talents. You'll learn how to
juggle,
walk a tightrope, or even swing from a trapeze! And instead of
camp counselors, you'll deal with
professional circus performers - cool!
Circus Camps - The Workout
Attending circus camp is a fun way to spend your
summer vacation, but it's also a great way to
get in shape. Each day starts off with warm-up and
muscle strengthening exercises, followed by lessons in balance,
acrobatics, aerial and
tumbling. Circus training is a
fun form of exercise because it involves everything from juggling
pies to throwing them!
Circus Camps - The Time-out
Learning to perform exciting circus acts comes with a price.
Fees will depend on the
length of each camp stay, which can run anywhere from a day to a few weeks. A couple of
well-known camps are
Circus Smirkus in Greensboro, VT and
Camp Winnarainbow in Mendocino County, CA.
Circus Camps - The Cooldown
Just like
other camps, circus camps include regular
summer fun like BBQ's,
campfires and toasted
marshmallows. And just like the circus, the camp will hold a
grand finale where you get to put on your very own circus! So step into the
ring and show off your
savvy circus skills!
