Our camps for the youngest circus lovers give our young campers a great start on summer! This will be our 9th year of offering these specialized camps. CircusLings sessions have expanded to 1 morning session and 2 afternoon sessions. CircusTots have 1 morning session. Tots and Lings have a special Friday performance for family and friends just like the big camps! Parents will be given information in their registration confirmation packet and during camp week about show times for their camper's specific session. Tots and Lings will also receive a Gamma Phi Campers tee with their registration-just like the bigger kids do!

CircusLings
For those 5-8 year olds who are curious about circus, but not quite ready for a full day camp experience. 90 minute camp sessions give young campers the opportunity to try out a variety of circus arts learning stations, discover what they like and are able to do and have lots of fun, too.
CircusTots
These camps are for the 3-4 year old age group who want to explore circus. Minimum age is 3 years old to register for this camp. 75 minute Camp sessions are just right for the preschooler's busy schedule.
