Explore Skills That Create the Circus Arts

Description

Summer Camp: June 10th - August 23rd, 2024

CircEsteem Summer Circus Camp is a fun, safe, supportive environment where children explore the many skills that create the Circus Arts.  Camp allows each child to develop self-confidence, self-esteem, physical awareness and an understanding of the potential they possess. Learn trapeze, tightwire, juggling and more, with a different theme each week!

Students enrolled will get to share their excitement and newfound skills with family and friends at the end of the week in a Show Off performance. Kids don't have to run away to join the circus!
