Berkcirque is now located at 49 Pearl Street in GB. Most programming will be held outdoors, in our Barn or under a circus tent. 9 am - 3 pm
Covid Precautions include - hand sanitizing and washing. Equipment cleaned regularly.
Each day begins with a friendly greeting, a vigorous warm-up game. Campers improve strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, body positivity and confidence as they rotate through a series of circus learning stations. Campers discover and practice new skills in a fun and supportive environment, exploring balancing skills such as tight wire, unicycling, stilt walking, rolling globes, spooner and balance boards and juggling (feathers, plates, diablo, devil sticks, bean bags & balls) tumbling, theatrical clowning and aerial arts (static trapeze, aerial rope/ fabric and Lyra).
All participants have an opportunity to choose an area of interest on which to focus and improve as they work toward accomplishing specific goals. Everyone works individually, in pairs, small groups and as a entire circus community.
1 week camp sessions are designed for learning basics and further developing specific circus skills - while 2 week camps are for more intensive training and culminate in a short circus presentation finale where the campers share their excitement and joy of specialty skills!
DRESS CODE: Campers should wear comfortable clothing that supports ease of movement and rubber soled shoes (sneakers) for running games, riding unicycle and other balancing activities. Additionally, a snug fitting tank top or under shirt that covers the torso while upside down. Long hair must be secured away from the face. Thank you.
Cancellation Policy - Full refund will be given (less $50. processing fee) for cancellations made 30 days prior to camp start date. camp week is non transferrable.
