Aerial & Circus Skills Retreat
Circus camp for adults!
About This Workshop
Play all day long in beautiful Vermont with the coaches you love! Select from a main-focus discipline to work on for two hours each morning. Options include trapeze, aerial fabric, lyra, rope, trampoline/tramp wall, Cyr wheel, Chinese pole, and hand balancing. Then pick from a variety of other aerials and circus skills and try new things every afternoon.
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, we are right near skiing and snowboarding areas, or you can sit at a local cafe and enjoy the beauty of winter from the warmth of indoors.
Worried about the cold? We don’t, because NECCA has heated floors!
