Circus Arts Social Summer is for children ages 5-12 with social, emotional, and physical challenges including attention difficulties, hyperactivity, sensory issues, low self-confidence, difficulty interacting socially, & kids who have trouble in large groups. Participants will have a chance to utilize circus equipment as well as the equipment at Sensations TheraFun™ to gain physical skills as well as learn important social skills such as teamwork, cooperation and self-confidence in a fun & safe environment.

Carrie Heller’s approach in her Circus Arts Social Summer comes from over 20 years of working with both typical children and those with learning differences, both inside and outside of the therapy room.  In her therapy work she assesses a child's physical capabilities, and designs a series of activities using the Circus equipment for each child to work on - one on one - as well as with the group, thus attending simultaneously to other emotional and social aspects of the child's development.

Ages 5 - 12

Depending upon population, ratio will be one staff to every 2 or 3 students.

No. Carrie is the founder of Circus Camp and although she is no longer in charge, she highly recommends it as a wonderful experience for children.
Circus Arts Social Summer (CASS) is a therapy group day program for children with special needs such as learning differences. Children who require more individual attention and who do not typically flourish in a traditional camp setting.
