Camps and Specialty Camps Overview
Kids don't need to run away to join the circus! AcroSports' week-long Circus Camps offer full days of circus events, acrobatics, act development and other physical activities designed to promote fitness, self-confidence, and group cooperation skills. Campers participate in Friday's Big Show at the end of their busy week. Mornings are spent developing acts for the end of week show and campers spend afternoons learning new skills, doing art projects, playing games, and other activities. Each week has a different show theme, and many campers attend multiple weeks during the Summer. Weekly Specialty Camps where students focus on Gymnastics, Tumbling, Dance, and X-Sports are also offered throughout the summer.
Camps run June-August and are from 9am-3pm Monday-Thursday, and 9am-4pm (show at 4pm) on Fridays. Extended care is offered in the morning 8-9am (M-F) and afternoon 3-5:30pm (M-Th).
