Camp ECTA Circus Exploration Camp
Dates: June 22-26, July 6-10, Aug 10-14**; 9am-3pm
Cost: $625 per week
Age: 6-16
SANCA is offering an extensive day camp program at Emerald City Trapeze Arts for children and young adults ages 6 to 16! The core of Circus Exploration Camp is to invite children, preteens, and teens to the magical world of circus, without the pressures of taking their skills to the stage. Circus Exploration Camp allows students to develop physical skills, build confidence, explore their own uniqueness, and expand their creative capabilities. We will explore various Aerial Arts (Fabric, Rope and Lyra), experience the exhilaration of Flying Trapeze, and develop ground and balance skills. This camp is a great fit for budding circus artists as well as experienced young circus artists hoping to deepen their general circus practice. Each week will feature a casual demonstration on Friday that parents are welcome to attend! **Please note – there will be no flying trapeze during the week in August**
Camp ECTA Performance Camp
Dates: June 29-July 3, July 13-17, Aug 17-21
Cost: $625 per week
Age: 6-16
SANCA is offering an extensive day camp program at Emerald City Trapeze Arts for children and young adults ages 6 to 16! Performance Camp allows students to develop physical skills, increase confidence, build self-esteem and explore circus as a performance art. This camp is a great fit for young circus artists hoping to increase their performance capabilities and experience, with a deep dive into act creation and theatre skills. Campers will work throughout the week to create a Showcase they will perform for family and friends on Friday, that will take place on Emerald City Trapeze Art’s very own stage!
Prior circus experience is recommended as there will be fewer opportunities to learn new skills, and it’s important to note that flying trapeze will only happen once during the week. For those who would like more of a focus on skills and flying trapeze, we invite them to participate in the Circus Exploration Camp the week before in addition to or instead of this performance camp.
Please make sure your camper can be in attendance on the final day of camp for the performance.
