Our Specialty Youth Flying Trapeze Workshops provide the opportunity for campers to participate in 3 days of core strengthening and team building activities. Students will learn tricks and skills to the net first and then will be able to test their skills to the catcher throughout the week. A performance will be scheduled on the last day of the workshop to showcase what they’ve learned.
What is this Camp?
Flying Trapeze intensive/camp will be 3 days of core strengthening and team building activities. Students will learn tricks and skills to the net first and then be able to test their skills to the catcher through the week.
Goal:
The goal of this workshop is to produce results in both physical skills as well as mental focus and confidence. This activity requires participants to be present in the moment and to have a general sense of adventure. If nothing else it will put the fun back in learning a new skill or appreciating and perfecting the skills one already has.
Daily Activities:
Each day will start with roll call and a group effort of through safety checklist of net and trapeze together. This will teach the students that the most important aspect of this activity is safety and include introductory lessons in how trapeze works. The group will then stretch and warm up together while discussing plans for the day. Once the students get flying, coaches will asses what skill set would be most productive for each individual student. After two hours of flying, a cool down period will begin. This will typically last 15-20 minutes while plans for the last hour will be discussed and a light snack will be enjoyed (typically fruit and/or granola bars). Each student will have their own individual lesson plan, but will all be learning the basics of flying trapeze.

WATER DAY
On the first Wednesday of a new camp session, we will be taking a break from our usual programing and offer a circus relay and a water slide. Students are encouraged to bring sunscreen, a towel and a change of clothes. Water play is not mandatory but encouraged. If it rains on water day we will set up alternative activities indoors. Waterday will not be rescheduled during a 1 week camp.
