A Chicago Summer Camp Like No Other

Summer Camp: June 18th - August 21st, 2026

CircEsteem’s Summer Circus Camp provides a fun, safe, and supportive environment where children are encouraged to explore, move, and grow. Through hands-on circus arts training led by professional teaching artists, campers develop physical strength, confidence, collaboration, self-regulation, and a deeper understanding of their own potential.

Each week introduces campers to a wide range of circus disciplines. Skills may vary by session, but often include aerial silks, trapeze, lyra, tightwire, gym wheel, mini trampoline, tumbling, partner acrobatics, clowning, rola bola, diabolo, stilts, juggling, and more—each anchored by a unique weekly theme. Camp days also include games, creative activities, and outdoor time when weather allows.

At the end of each week, campers take center stage in a joyful Show Off performance, sharing their newly learned skills and confidence with family and friends.
