YOUTH CAMPS
Hello NECCA Campers! It is with heavy hearts that we have decided to cancel February and April Break Camps for 2020. But we are pleased to announce that we will be offering Summer Camps in 2021! You can find more information about Summer Camps below.
This year we are offering pre-registration for anyone that fills out the camp questionnaire before March 1st. This form will allow you to reserve a spot in your chosen week of camp and provide NECCA with valuable information about running half days, full days, teen & advanced camp, and more.
Pre-Registration for those who reserve a spot in their chosen week will open April 1st, and general registration opens on April 8th.
*please note that the form will ask for your top two preferred weeks, only one will be reserved.

In our youth camps, your child will receive top-notch instruction in a noncompetitive environment. They’ll get a sense of pride and increased confidence as they learn communication skills, perseverance, and self-determination, as well as how to be a spectacular acrobat, aerialist, juggler, or clown. Campers will also take an active role in choosing the theme and creating the set pieces for the camp performance on the final day, and will also have the opportunity to try their hand at stagecraft by helping with tech and rigging.
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.
As you explore all of our camp offerings, please be sure to review the days, ages, and times of the camp you purchase to make sure your child is signed up for the option that works best for you!

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 a performance for family and friends to laugh, cheer, and be amazed.
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.
TEEN CAMPS: AGE 11 – 17
DATES TBD
Circus camp designed specifically for teenagers. Students will work in groups by age to learn exciting circus skills, put together an end-of-week show, and roll their eyes as our coaches bring in their best dad jokes.
