Due to the novel coronavirus outbreak, registration for all summer programming has been temporarily suspended. We will continue to vigilantly monitor updates from our governor regarding the ongoing safety guidelines for Minnesota this summer to assess the future of our camps. For an up-to-date listing of camp cancelations, please see below.
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, 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.
Circus Juventas offers three types of summer camp options: Performance week-long camps, daily sampler camps, and teen high-flying adventure camps. All 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 6-18. Students are assigned groups based on age. Buddy requests are available.

Offline Payment Form for Summer Camp 2020
It is recommended that camp is paid in full at the time of registration; however, there is the option of paying just a deposit until May 1st. The deposit is $125 for the week-long camp and $30 per day for sampler camps and is non-refundable. If a family chooses to only pay the deposit, the remaining balance must be paid in full by May 1st.
To choose this option and only pay the deposit, select “Bill me later” on the payment page and submit the summer camp 2020 offline payment form to summercamp@circusjuventas.org or Circus Juventas – Summer Camp, 1270 Montreal Ave, St. Paul, MN 55116.
Students will NOT be enrolled in camp until payment has been received. If you have any questions or concerns regarding payment, please do not hesitate to contact the CJ Administrative Staff at 651-699-8229 or adminstaff@circusjuventas.org.
