CIRCUS CAMPS

Green Fools Theatre offers circus camps for kids age 8 and up!

Circus camp includes stilt walking, clown, mask, mime, juggling, acrobatics, wire walking and swinging trapeze. Workshops are typically five days long and conclude with a student performance.

Our camps build confidence and self-esteem, and encourage creative expression. Our instructors emphasize teamwork, respect, gender equity and dedication. Students learn to work together on skills that transcend barriers of age and gender; skills that require everyone involved to be focused and committed.

We supply the gear, you provide the space (gymnasium, community hall or theatre) – and the participants! We also encourage communities to build their own stilts so kids of all ages can practice all year long.

Green Fools instructors have taught across Northern Canada and as far away as Africa.Contact us today to learn how to bring the circus to your community!
