Lasting one week for 9-12 years old and two weeks for 13-17 years old, the intensive summer camps allow young people to explore various circus disciplines: aerial acrobatics, juggling, balancing, etc. and to familiarize themselves with NCS’s pedagogical approach. For their part, participants in the 13-17 age group also have the opportunity to devote more time to the practice of a main discipline, in addition to working on their techniques in other disciplines.
The camps include the teaching of several body and artistic techniques, from physical preparation to trampoline to acrobatic. The activities are mainly focused on the development of new physical skills and on the creative aspect of performance. The camps conclude with a live performance for the family.
Participants can stay in the residences next to the NCS during their stay. Cultural outings, supervised by our team of instructors, are organized to explore Montreal. Places in residences are limited.
Participation in the intensive summer camps can facilitate admission to Preparatory Program or the Circus and High School Studies program.
