Activities
- Flying Trapeze
- With lines, harnesses and of course a net, learn to fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Trapeze has many benefits including building confidence, trust and concentration. It is, in our opinion, the greatest sport of all time!
- Adventure Activities
- Rope course walk, ladder climb, and zip-line are some of the activities that challenge balance and coordination
- Hula Hoop
- Learn to spin single, or potentially multiple, hoop(s) on hands, neck, chest, waist and knees.
- Acro-balance
- Explore trust, awareness, and play to find new areas of strength and flexibility. This activity includes acrobatic flying without the need for a net.
- Juggling & Manipulation
- Focus on improving hand-eye co-ordination and confidence. Juggling and manipulation can include the use of balls, clubs, rings, diabolo, devil sticks, and poi.
- Tight-wire / Slack-line
- Walking across the tight-wire or slack-line builds focus and concentration. Learn different foot placements, eventually dance steps and impressive feats such as jumps and turns.
- Tissu
- Climb to amazing heights and demonstrate grace in the air, while learning various skills that utilize strength and flexibility to wrap into different positions on the tissu.
- Aerial Spin
- Twirl into a frenzy while experimenting with a variety of spinning apparatuses including aerial ring, hammock and web rope.

Safety
Safety is our number one priority! When participating in flying trapeze, participants wear a safety harness attached to safety lines, which are guided by a trained "line-puller". ...and yes, there is a net. (Flying trapeze is always performed over a safety net.) We take every precaution to ensure participant safety. Our trained staff assists campers every step of the way. While the circus school is very exciting and fun, in actuality, it is an extremely controlled environment. (about the first trapeze lesson)
