Payomet Cirque by the Sea is excited to welcome teens aged 13-16 back to Circus Camp!

Our Teen Intensive Circus Camp weekly camp is a dynamic, skill-based training and creation program designed for teens who want to explore circus arts in a focused, supportive, and collaborative environment. Participants will be grouped by experience level, allowing both beginners and more advanced students to be appropriately challenged.

Each week includes a balance of group work and specialized skill-building. Students will train together through warm-ups, conditioning, flexibility, and acrobatics, while also diving deeper into focused workshops. These may include aerial arts (lyra, trapeze, and silks), juggling and object manipulation, comedy, performance, and theater-based exercises.

All levels are welcome, no prior experience required. This program is ideal for teens looking to build skills, gain confidence, and be part of a creative ensemble.
