Summer Circus Skills Retreats

Traincation in Vermont!

The June Retreat will run June 8 – 12, 2026.
The July Retreat will run July 27 – 32, 2026.
The August Retreat will run August 17 – 21, 2026.

Play at circus all day long in beautiful Vermont with the coaches you love!  Select from a main focus of Cyr wheel, trampoline, hand balancing, Chinese pole, Mallakhamb pole, trapeze, aerial fabric, aerial sling, lyra or rope. Then pick from a variety of other aerials and circus skills during the afternoon rotations and try new things every day.

This is a great way to rediscover your love of circus, remember skills you might not have done for a while, and try out new things when you are ready. If you want the full Vermont experience, we are right next to the river for swimming and water sports, and hikes are just moments away.
