SPRING CIRCUS CAMP Ages 7-14, April 6-10, 2015

Location: Greenbelt Community Center Gymnasium

Join former Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus performer Greg May for a fun-filled session of circus skills training. Learn juggling, stilt-walking, unicycling, balance boards, rolling globe, partner acrobatics, clown gags, and single-point and fabric trapeze.
The development of circus skills translates into immediate life advantages: balance, hand-eye coordination, public presentation, teamwork, creativity, and how to slip on a banana peel without getting hurt! Campers are safely taught at their individual skill levels. On the last day of each camp session, campers will demonstrate their new skills in a show for parents and other guests. Students under age 8 admitted with Director’s approval.

Stagecraft Teen Internships and Adult Volunteer Opportunities with the Creative Kids Camp

Teen interns (ages 15-17) and adult volunteers (ages 18+) are invited to help make original costumes, masks, props, puppets and set elements (as needed) for this year’s Creative Kids Camp shows. No prior training needed – just an interest in creative collaboration with fellow artists of all ages. Flexible schedule. No fee to participate.

Stagecraft artists work primarily with each other and with a staff mentor in our production studio. Interns and volunteers also help facilitate classes in which the campers themselves can help make elements for their shows, and assist backstage during dress rehearsals and performances. While projects are under construction, stagecraft artists may work for extended periods in the studio without constant staff supervision, although staff are available if questions or issues arise.
