Green Fools Theatre Summer Camps

From Juggling to Aerials to Slapstick: Green Fools Theatre Summer Camps

Summer is the best time for kids to laugh, play, and try new things. They can meet new people and discover new passions. This summer is the perfect time for kids to run away and join the circus! Green Fools Theatre is offering circus summer camps for aspiring performers, acrobats, and stunt artists. Camps include circus skills from basic juggling and balancing to tightwire and aerial skills. With small class sizes and one-on-one instruction, kids can learn new skills in their areas of interest and achieve amazing things.

Green Fools Theatre circus programs offer kids a chance to enjoy a fun and unique activity. These programs are for all kids with an interest in the circus, even those who have never imagined what they could accomplish, and the camps are suitable for kids of all abilities. Kids will learn new skills in a safe and supportive environment; they will challenge themselves, burn their energy, and build confidence as they master new achievements.
