Step right up! St. Louis' most unique circus camp is taking registrations. Nestled on the third floor of the eclectic City Museum, Circus Day Foundation runs the Circus Harmony Center--- St. Louis' only circus school. At their exceptional summer camp, children really do get to run away and join the circus. They learn many tricks of the trade including trapeze, wire-walking, acrobatics, juggling and clowning. Then, they don the spangled costumes and actually get to perform for the public at City Museum!
Circus performance camps start the end of June and run through the end of August. The camps happen in two weeks sessions. Student/teacher ratio is kept low so each aspiring performing gets lots of individual attention. The camps are small and fill up quickly. So, children aged 8 - 18 who want to run away and join the circus this summer are urged to register now. Information is available online at www.circusday.org and by phone at
314-436-7676.
