PHILADELPHIA, PA — This spring break, kids across the Greater Philadelphia region can trade screen time for high-flying excitement as the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts invites young performers to step under the big top for a week of unforgettable fun.
The Spring Break Kids’ Day Off Circus Camps promise action-packed days filled with movement, creativity, and hands-on learning—giving children in kindergarten through seventh grade a chance to explore circus arts in a safe and supportive environment.
A Week of High-Flying Fun and Skill Building
Held at the Philadelphia Circus Campus in West Mt. Airy, the camps offer a unique experience where kids can try everything from aerial arts to juggling, all while building confidence and making new friends.
Participants will learn a wide range of circus skills, including:
- Aerial sling, static trapeze, and aerial fabric
- Wire walking
- Juggling and plate spinning
- Rolling globe
- Tumbling
- Clowning
The program blends physical activity with creativity and downtime, incorporating group games, quiet reading time, and collaborative play throughout the day.
“Circus Campus is the most unique place in Philadelphia to spend those days off,” said Executive Director Kitsie O’Neill. “Kids can swap out days in the classroom with a different kind of school where they will be engaged in circus arts, skill building and pure fun. Participants will create new friendships, learn new skills, build self-esteem and learn teamwork too.”
Flexible Options for Busy Families
Camps run daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., with additional aftercare and extended care options available for families needing more flexibility. No prior experience is required, and all children are welcome to participate.
Set inside a 30,000-square-foot former church campus—with a soaring 40-foot sanctuary, gymnasium, classrooms, and outdoor green space—the environment adds to the sense of adventure and discovery.
