Truly, a one-of-a-kind summer camp experience.
Summer Under the Big Top
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 or daily sampler 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.
Circus Juventas offers two types of summer camp options: Performance week camps and sampler camps. Both options provide experience of ALL genres of the circus arts: aerial, acrobatics, balance, juggling, and theater. All camps run 9 a.m.-3:45 p.m. and are for ages 6-15. Students are assigned groups based on age. Buddy requests are available.
Take a look at the FAQs below to learn more about the differences between performance week and sampler camps.
