For FLYING TRAPEZE Classes
Our address is 102 Thomas Road in Guilford, VT, but DO NOT follow your GPS or MapQuest as they will send you 7 miles out of your way!
From Interstate 91 in Vermont, take exit 2 & turn right on to Route 9 headed west. Go approximately 1.5 miles through West Brattleboro. At the 7-11 on your left, turn left on to Greenleaf Street. Go 1.5 miles. Turn left on to Hinesburg Road. (If you are following GPS or MapQuest, this is where they will tell you to go straight onto Ames Hill Road. Instead, turn left onto Hinesburg Road.) Go 2.5 miles & pass the horse farm on the left. Start looking for a right onto Thomas Road—just before this you'll see signs on the right for parking in the old road cut at the bottom of Thomas Road. Please do not drive up Thomas Road to park—instead please leave your car at the road cut and walk up to the flying trapeze. To get there, please walk up the drive, past the farmhouse, following the road to the right between the garage and the storage building, cross the stream and the flying trapeze will be on your right. And don't worry; there are plenty of signs to show you the way. (Flying Trapeze map)

"My skills on the trapeze have made a leap. And I have started spotting people on my trapeze, feeling much less worried as they do unexpected moves."
