Silver Lining Circus Camp

Juggling, acrobatics, and unicycling -- clowning, tightwire, and diabolo!

There are so many activities at Silver Lining Circus Camp, it’s hard to fit them all into a week!

At Junior Camp (ages 6-8), campers jump, roll, and tumble, spin plates, balance peacock feathers, juggle scarves, and more! Circus activities intersperse with free play, outdoor time, crafts, rest time, and stories in our circus library. The week ends with a “share” for family and friends including face painting and the famous Silver Lining popsicles!

Circus skills (and fun!) are the focus of our Youth Camp (ages 9-14). Campers warm up, then rotate through skills stations in acrobatics, juggling skills, and balancing on tightwire, unicycles, and rolling globe. After lunch there is clowning, Coaches’ Choice, and free practice -- not to mention strengthening! By mid-week, campers select the skills they want to focus on for Friday’s show and work with their coaches to build their acts. (Also: Popsicles!)

Most years we also run a 2-week Advanced Camp for campers with previous circus experience. Previous themes include show-building and a local tour, a clown intensive, and an act building and creation intensive.

"My daughter was a painfully shy and insecure child. She didn't know how to comfortably communicate with others, especially in new environments. It was amazing to see her finding her way to "speak" during the circus camp, and more than that - the effect it had on her confidence the entire school year after attending the camp!! She found that showing off what you know and who you are could be actually fun!! What joy it is to see her blooming!!"
