Summer Break

Youth Summer Camps: AGES 3 – 17

June 22 – August 26 | Weekly Camps

In our camps, your child will receive top-notch instruction in a noncompetitive environment. They will have the chance to try a broad range of circus skills including juggling, aerials, acrobatics and more. They’ll get a sense of pride and increased confidence as they learn communication skills, perseverance, and self-determination.

Students will work in groups by age and ability for the best learning experience. We work with the energy of our youngest students by including separate art activities and quiet time suited to their learning needs.

Sign up for one, two, or more days. Each day will include a new and fun experience for each student.

Summer Break

Advanced Performance Camp: AGE 8 – 17

July 11 – 15, 2022

For the circus lovers who want to take their skills to the stage. After choosing between creating a solo, duo or trio act, your child will spend the week taking their circus skills even further as well as working with coaches to choose music, develop the theme, and create choreography. After five days of intense work (and just maybe some fun sprinkled in for good measure), they’ll present an end-of-camp performance for family and friends.

This camp is by invitation or application only. Including video in the application is highly recommended unless we already know your child very well through regular NECCA classes. We will get back to you promptly following a review.
