Circus Summer Camps

Discover the magic of circus with your little one this summer! This camp offers a fun and engaging experience for toddlers and their grown-ups to explore movement, balance, and creativity together. Activities include simple balancing, basic juggling, and hand-eye coordination games, all inspired by circus arts and designed to be age-appropriate.
