Juggle Your Way to Circus Camp!

Dec 27, 2006

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!
