"This is my kids' favorite camp every summer. The instructors are magical!" – Circus Camp Parent
Step right up for a fun week of circus that your kid will not soon forget! Our team of professionally certified instructors will be offering weekly Summer Circus Camp (June 29-August 27) for students ages 7 to 13.
Each week campers jump right into aerial arts, acrobatics, juggling, mini-trampoline, physical comedy, improv, object manipulation, rope climbing and physical training geared to the level of each individual student. But they'll gain more than just circus tricks as they develop confidence and social skills, building real life skills while having a blast!
Camp runs June 29–Aug 27, 2026 // Monday–Thursday. Note there is no camp on Fridays.
All weeks will be held at the Payomet's Big Top Circus Tent location at the WHAT THEATER in Wellfleet.
