About Our Camps

Summer & Spring Break Camps

Sky Camps run for one week, Monday through Friday. Half day Sky Camps are available in both the morning and the afternoon, either running from 8am-12pm or 1pm-5pm. Full day Sky Camps run from 8am-5pm. All Sky Camps will include time on all four of our basic aerial apparatuses, as well as other fun circus skills. Morning only & full day camps include professional photos and afternoon only & full day camps include a showcase for families on Friday.

Sky Camps are open to all youth ages 7 - 14. (Note: Campers must turn 7 before the start of camp. We would love to host your younger kiddos in one of our half day Aerial Beginnings Camps (ages 5-7) - schedule below.) All levels of students are welcome. We will split groups out by age and skill level to ensure everyone learns something new and challenging.

All students should bring a water bottle, lunch (if enrolled in a full day Sky Camp), snacks, and be appropriately dressed. Appropriately dressed here means form-fitting clothing (baggy clothing can get caught on apparatuses) that covers the knees and underarms with no buttons, zippers, or other rigid elements that can catch and snag. Students are welcome to wear a mask if they would like to for any reason, but it is not currently required.

Price: $400 for a half day camp or $650 for a full day camp per participant

Winter Break Camps (New for 2024!)

New this year, we’re introducing Winter Break Sky Camp! Due to timing of holidays, this year’s Winter Break Camp is a two-day camp running December 26th and 27th. This two-day camp will operate like our regular Sky Camps, but we won’t have our usual Friday photoshoot and invite-only showcase. We will host a more informal show-off for families to see what their kiddos have been working on over their two days with us in camp.

Price: $300 ($250 Early Bird if purchased by Oct 1, 2024)
