June 10 – 14 & August 19 – 23, 2024

Summer Aerial & Circus Skills Retreats

There are two retreats! Retreat A runs June 10 – 14. Retreat B runs August 19 – 23. Look below for more info on each week!

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 aerials, 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 next to the river for swimming and water sports, and hikes are just moments away.

Prerequisites & More Info

Those newer to aerials are welcome, but the shorter daily schedule for Week B will be more comfortable for folks newer to circus, recovering from injury, or those looking for a focused schedule and time to explore the area.

Week A will include one extra rotation each day, plus open training time. Those with more experience will be able to progress at their own pace in either week.

Long sleeves and martial arts style shoes with flexible soles are recommended.
