Summer Camp

is almost here!

In the summer, Chase Park is transformed. . . 

 

The field-house takes the form of a mythical circus tent,

The gym, fields and playground convert into training grounds for our young campers,

And our young campers become 

C I R C U S   S T A R S !

 

Campers spend the summer in a celebration of movement and play. Our certified coaches teach exciting new skills in a fun, safe and nurturing environment. Campers enjoy the satisfaction of mastering amazing feats and working as a team. And throughout the summer, full-time campers get to experience the thrill of performing!

Camp is open to one and all, ages 6 – 12; no previous experience is needed! 

Activities include:

  • The amazing Gym Wheel
