Winter Circus Skills Retreat

Our Winter Circus Skills Retreat will run from Sunday February 16 – Thursday February 20, 2025!

Play at circus all day long in beautiful Vermont with the coaches you love!  Select from a main focus of german wheel, cyr wheel, trampoline, hand balancing, chinese pole, trapeze, aerial fabric, lyra or rope. Then pick from a variety of other aerials and circus skills during the afternoon rotations and try new things every day.

This is a great way to rediscover your love of circus, remember skills you might not have done for a while, and try out new things when you are ready. If you want the full Vermont experience, the great outdoors and winter activities are just moments away.
