Silver Lining Circus Camp
Youth Camp
Ages 9-14
July 1-5, July 8-12 and July 15-19, 2013
Register here!
Whether new to circus or more experienced, campers in this session will
learn new skills and improve in old ones. The twin goals of Youth Camp are: to achieve basic competency or to deepen in circus
skill proficiency; and to work collaboratively with coaches to create a
culminating performance by Friday afternoon.
Coaches emphasize effort and positive mental attitude and progress is
measured against one’s own abilities.
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays begin with a comprehensive warm-up and
stretching in preparation for a morning of skills rotations. Rotations include:
acrobatics and tumbling; toss juggling (scarves, balls, rings, clubs); balance
equipment (tightwire, rola bola, rolling globe, unicycles); and gyroscopic
juggling (devil sticks, diabolos, poi). (SLCC does not offer aerials.)
Afternoon activities include clowning, human pyramids, and
strengthening. By Wednesday of each session campers select two
skills that will be showcased in Friday’s performance, then they spend Thursday
composing and polishing their acts.
On Fridays, Youth Camp ends with a Show for families and friends,
followed by the traditional SLCC popsicles. “SLCC WE CAN DO IT!”
