CIRCUS CAMPS
AcroSports has offered Summer Circus Camps since the Summer of 1993, and hundreds of kids have attended AcroSports Camps since. AcroCampers learn a wide variety of circus disciplines, play games, and put together a show for family and friends at the end of the week. Each week has a different show theme, and many campers attend multiple weeks during the Summer. Mornings are usually spent learning new skills, doing art projects, playing games, and other activities, while afternoons are used to develop acts for the show, make props, and of course more games. Activities include: Circus arts activities include: trapeze, bungee, ropes and juggling Development of tumbling and balancing skills through work on stilts, fastrak and tumbling strip where campers learn rolls, falls and flips Floor activities including games, bungee and zipline rides, rehearsals and choreography of theatrics, skits and group routines Art activities in the Solarium creating props in preparation for our weekly Circus Show. Daily walking field trip, weather permitting, right across the road to Kezar stadium for lunch in the sun and fresh air activities. A fun and exciting show put on by the campers at the close of each week. Family and friends watch from the grandstand while campers showcase the skills they have learned throughout the week.
