Circus Arts camp is a thrill of a lifetime. Campers will have the opportunity to explore a wide variety of uniquely challenging circus skills. It's not just clowning around. You will discover each of the disciplines requires tremendous balance, timing, dexterity and concentration. Each two week session culminates in an unforgettable live circus performance. All skills are performed in a safe, matted, tightly supervised area.
An international team of circus artists will guide the campers through a challenging day which combines physical education with cultural arts activities in a non-competitive environment. It’s a unique opportunity for “children of all ages” to experience the traditions and genuine fun of the circus. See it! Do it!

"My son had the best summer experience of his life at Future Stars Circus Arts Camps. As a teacher I was most impressed with how well organized the camp was. The staff and teachers were always smiling and seems to love being there. Dan and Kat were so talented and the circus show they had the children put on was amazing. We will be back next summer!"
