Skill Level

No experience is needed! Each participant works towards goal skills at their own level. We have a mix of levels of campers join us each summer, some who are trying circus for the first time, others who come back each summer for camp or our regular participants who take our classes throughout the year.

Ratio

We provide specialized instruction in the circus arts and allow for lots of individual attention with no more than 8 participants to a coach for all aerial & tumbling activities. Some activities like craft or lunch may be supervised at a higher ratio while staff rotate out to take a lunch break.

What to Wear:
We recommend sending your child in tights/athletic pants & a tee/tank/leotard. Clothes that will be worn on the aerial silks must be free of metal fasteners and zippers. Children will be barefoot (If your child has a wart/wound, then socks or gymnastics slippers should be worn). Long hair should be tied back and jewelry removed.

Camper Privacy

We are only able to provide camper outing locations and confirmation of registration to those listed on the camper pick-up or emergency contact list.

If you would like to see your child at lunch or at another time during their camp day, you must sign them out and take them offsite to spend time with them. We don't permit non-staff to socialize with our campers or accompany them on excursions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at info@cirque-ability.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Can my child be grouped with their friend or sibling?

We group children by age. In many cases we can accommodate requests for friends to be in the same group. If there is a large age gap, we can offer a spot to the older child in a younger group, but we don't recommend this since the younger group is geared to younger participants.

Is your facility air conditioned

Our space is not air conditioned. We have one area that is air conditioned where the kids can get relief from the heat as needed.

My child has no experience, can they sign up?

No experience is needed to register for our circus camp. Participants will be grouped by age rather than ability and encouraged to progress at their individual pace.

My chid is almost 4, can I sign them up?

Children have to be age 4 by the camp start date. No exceptions can be made due to child care licensing and requirements for age 3 & under laid out by the government of Ontario.

Our family attended Cirque-ability programs in the past, but our portal login isn't working, can you help?

The Jackrabbit portal login is only for current 2025 class participants. All returning Cirque-ability clients must use the new client form on the website to register. If you have a credit on file, please include a registration note and we will merge your new and archived account upon registration review.

Can they go back in the gym during their lunch break?

Campers are not permitted to run around the gym during the lunch break. Our aerial and acrobatic camp is a very physical camp and it also requires a lot of concentration and focus. The hour lunch break is an important time for them to rest and enjoy non-active and unstructured free time with their camp friends. Children are welcome to bring games and toys for lunch break, but please don't send any favourite toys or valuables.
