CircusLings

Our camps for the youngest circus lovers give our young campers a great start on summer! This will be our 10th year of offering these specialized camps. CircusLings sessions have expanded to 2 morning session and 2 afternoon sessions. CircusLings 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. CircusLings will also receive a Gamma Phi Campers tee with their registration-just like the bigger kids do!

Registration is open!

CircusLings

For those 3-7 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.

Act Stations

Act stations include: balancing, tumbling, plate spinning, tightwire, juggling (feathers & scarves) and more! Coaches with a focus on instruction and safety provide campers with a supportive introductory circus camp experience.

Camp Shows

On the final day of each camp, there will be a performance for friends, family, and the public. Circus performers and parents alike will enjoy the live circus performance set to music on the final day of each session.
