Summer Break
YOUTH SUMMER CAMPS: AGE 5 – 17
10 WEEKS: JUNE 23 – AUGUST 27
In our youth camps, your child will receive top-notch instruction in a noncompetitive environment. They’ll get a sense of pride and increased confidence as they learn communication skills, perseverance, and self-determination, as well as how to be a spectacular acrobat, aerialist, juggler, or clown. Campers will also take an active role in choosing the theme and creating the set pieces for the camp performance on the final day, and will also have the opportunity to try their hand at stagecraft by helping with tech and rigging.
Students will work in groups by age and ability for the best learning experience. We work with the energy of our youngest students by including separate art activities and quiet time suited to their learning needs.
There will be an end-of-camp performance via Zoom on Fridays at 1:45pm. The Zoom link will be sent on the Thursday prior to the performance.
As you explore all of our camp offerings, please be sure to review the days, ages, and times of the camp you purchase to make sure your child is signed up for the option that works best for you!
$380 per week.
We offer a 5% sibling discount for siblings that register together.

Summer Break
Advanced Performance Camp: AGE 8 – 17
JULY 26 – 30
For the circus lovers who want to take their skills to the stage. After choosing between creating a solo, duo or trio act, your child will spend the week taking their circus skills even further as well as working with coaches to choose music, develop the theme, and create choreography. After five days of intense work (and just maybe some fun sprinkled in for good measure), they’ll present an end-of-camp performance via zoom and in-person at 5:30pm on Friday for family and friends to laugh, cheer, and be amazed. Limit two guests per student. Masks are required.
This camp is by invitation or application only. Including video in the application is highly recommended unless we already know your child very well through regular NECCA classes. We will get back to you promptly following a review.
$380/week
5% sibling discount.
