The SHAC Summer Circus & Physical Theater Camp runs for nine weeks from June 29 through August 28 and is designed to be flexible, engaging, and welcoming for campers ages 7–17. Each week has a theme that shapes games, stories, movement prompts, and
creative challenges across all studios. Campers may attend one week or multiple weeks—each week stands on its own while still rewarding returning campers with deeper exploration. No prior experience is required. Weeks wrap up with informal moments of sharing that celebrate effort, creativity, and collaboration rather than performance—making the camp a joyful, low-pressure way for kids and teens to stay active, curious, and connected all summer long.
