Summer Circus Camp for Kids and Youth (Ages 7 - 14)


  • Brass Butterflies 60 Bathurst Drive Unit 15, Waterloo, ON, N2V 2A9 Canada (map)

You don't have to run away to join the circus! Our summer camps offer the opportunity for your child to experience a taste of the circus with a well-rounded spectrum of circus disciplines!  These camps are intended for students aged 7 - 14. No experience is necessary, but experienced students will still be challenged and engaged by our camp programming. For new students, camp is also the perfect introduction to our weekly kids and youth curriculum classes offered during the fall and winter seasons. Our camps are led by experienced circus educators with small teacher to student ratios ensuring lots of individual attention. Give your children a truly unique physical and creative outlet this summer!

During this full-day (9am-4pm), week-long (Monday-Friday) camp, your child will have the opportunity to learn skills on all the foundational aerial apparatuses, including aerial hammock, silks, hoop and dance trapeze! They will also develop their fine motor skills with lessons in object manipulation using a number of juggling props including scarves, balls, flower sticks, spinning plates, poi, and hula hoops, and gross motor skills with lessons in introductory ground acrobatics and tumbling.
Physical activity will be moderated with times for rest and regulation, including outdoor time (weather permitting), social time, quiet games, stretching, and even meditation, giving participants the chance to explore the world of circus from many perspectives.

Though many activities during camp will be with the whole group together, campers may be broken out into smaller groups for some activities according to age and/or experience.

No experience required.  All abilities are welcome.
