FAQs
When starting your application you’ll be asked to select your top skills. Choose acrobatics, trapeze, or anything you're good at and is connected to circus skills. Go into detail about what you’re going to bring to the role, your skill level and if you’re already qualified. A camp director will then be able to assess if you’re a good fit and invite you to their camp.
Circus jobs abroad require experience, so practise your skills and build up your show reel. Look at local circus schools alongside gymnastic centres for acrobatics.The more experience working with children you can gain before the summer, the better your application.
Campers come down to sessions in age group divisions. These divisions can vary in skill level, but are usually made up of 10-30 campers. You’ll then be paired with an individual camper or a smaller group, and don’t worry - you’ll be supported by your fellow specialists and counsellors.
