Important Camp Info 2023 - Any changes to this will be communicated through email prior to the camp

Regular Drop-off:
Check in happens from 9:00-9:15am.  Staff member will check in your camper at the door.  Parents are not permitted in the facility.

Photo release:

Please note, that our registration form includes a photo release.  We will share some highlights of the week on social media so that parents can see all the fun that their kids are up to.  We do not provide an opt-out, but we can put a note on file and do our best to exclude your child from photos.  Kids will always have the option of passing on a photo or can wear a neon "no photo" bracelet so that at a glance, staff know to blur their face or exclude them.

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). Please let a coach know if that is the case. Long hair should be tied back and jewelry removed.  Masks are currently optional in our facility, but that is subject to change if there is a strong recommendation from Public Health to implement them. 


What to Pack:

Please send your child with:

  • A water bottle
  • Morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack. NO PEANUTS OR TREE NUTS.  We are not a  nut free facility.  If your child has a serious nut allergy, please discuss with our staff whether this is a safe environment for them. 
  • Please do not pack ipads, tablets, etc. We recommend leaving these types of items at home.
  • Additionally, summer campers should arrive wearing  sunscreen (extra if needed), sun hat, walking shoes.  


Regular Pick-up:
Please pick up your child on time at 4pm and sign them out with a staff member.  If someone other than a parent on file will be picking up your child, they must be included on your child's pick-up list and should bring ID with them.  Please note that we respect our coaches' time and commitments outside of their work hours.  A fee of $2/minute will apply if you are late to pick up your child and will be charged to the credit card on file.


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 your child is hoping to attend with a friend, please contact that family to confirm which session they are registered for.  If that is not possible, we are happy to pass on your contact info to the family you are inquiring about.

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.

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.  Children in all camps will have a chance to interact at lunch time, outdoor time and during some group activities.


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.   


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
