Meet the New Sky Camp Team
We are getting excited for our 2026 round of summer Sky Camps! With 10 weeks of camp this year and space for up to 24 campers each week, we need a whole lotta circus knowledge to make it happen. So, in addition to our incredible team of seasoned Sky Camp teachers and counselors, we have been busy training a new crop of youth instructors just in time for Summer 2026! We are thrilled to share these amazing new team members with you.
