Sierra Circus Camp

Sierra Circus Camp combines the excitement of circus training with the magic of summer camp. Whether your child is stepping into the circus ring for the very first time or already has years of experience, our camps provide a supportive, encouraging, and inspiring environment for growth.

At Sierra Circus Camp, participants learn from experienced circus artists, both locals and invited guests, while enjoying the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Every day is filled with movement, creativity, laughter, teamwork, and fun.

Sierra Circus Camp is run as a sole proprietorship.

Why Circus?

Circus arts offer incredible benefits for children of all ages.

Build Confidence

Learning a new skill and performing in front of others helps children develop self-esteem and courage.

Encourage Creativity

Circus arts inspire imagination, problem-solving, and creative expression.

Develop Physical Skills

Juggling, acrobatics, balancing, aerial arts, and movement improve coordination, strength, flexibility, and body awareness.

Learn Teamwork

Many circus disciplines require trust, communication, and collaboration.

Foster Resilience

Circus teaches children that mistakes are part of learning and that persistence leads to success.

Make Lifelong Friends

Campers become part of a welcoming community where everyone supports one another.

Why Summer Camp?

Summer camp provides experiences that children simply cannot get from screens or classrooms alone.

At Sierra Circus Camp, children:

  • Spend time outdoors in nature
  • Build independence and responsibility
  • Form meaningful friendships
  • Gain confidence through new experiences
  • Stay active and healthy
  • Create lasting memories

Our goal is to provide an environment where every child feels safe, challenged, inspired, and celebrated.
