Summer Camps

Circus Juventas summer camps are all about creating a safe space where students can have new adventures, experience traditional and contemporary circus arts and global inspirations, and receive encouragement in a non-competitive, nurturing environment. A one-of-a-kind summer camp experience in the Twin Cities, our week-long, daily sampler, or teen high-flying adventure day camps are led by an internationally-renowned troupe of coaches in our award-winning big top. Our camps are designed to delight, challenge, and inspire campers in new and creative ways.

Summer camps are a great way to experience the magic of circus without the year-long commitment of our regular classes. CJ coaches are committed to working individually with every student based on the students’ needs and abilities. Many of our campers return each year — and we welcome new students too.
