Philadelphia, PA – Spring break is around the corner, and parents everywhere are looking for ways to keep kids active, engaged, and off their screens while school is out. This year, let the Philadelphia School of Circus Arts (PSCA) turn those days off into high-flying, energy-burning, joy-filled adventures with its Kid’s Day Off Circus Camps, the perfect spring break solution for children in Kindergarten through 7th grade. Spring Break camps run all day from 9:00am to 3:00pm for $95 a day per child, plus there’s even options this year for after care from 3:00pm to 6:00pm and extended care from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. Registration and sign-ups are open now at phillycircus.com.
“Philadelphia School of Circus Arts invites kids to run off to the big top for spring break this year,” said Executive Director Kitsie O’Neill. “Circus Campus is the most unique place in Philadelphia to spend those days off. Kids can swap out days in the classroom with a different kind of school where they will be engaged in circus arts, skill building and pure fun. Participants will create new friendships, learn new skills, build self-esteem and learn team work too.”
Whether you’re juggling work, planning family activities, or simply looking for something exciting for your kids to do during the break, circus camp offers an unforgettable experience right here in Philadelphia. Kids will leave each day with new skills, big smiles, and stories they’ll be telling long after spring break ends.
Camps run 9:00am–3:00pm for $95/day, making them an easy, exciting, and enriching option for busy families. Instead of spending the day indoors, kids can learn real circus skills including:
* Aerial sling, static trapeze & aerial fabric
* Wire walking
* Juggling & plate spinning
* Rolling globe
* Tumbling
* Clowning
With quiet reading time, group games and plenty of creative play throughout the day, PSCA offers the perfect balance of movement and rest. Campers get to explore, laugh, learn, and make new friends in a supportive and playful environment. Campers should bring a hearty lunch and snacks to keep their energy up for all the fun. No prior experience or PSCA enrollment is required – all kids are welcome.
Flexible Options for Busy Schedules
For parents who need a little extra flexibility during the workday, additional care options are available when enrolled:
* After Care: 3:00–6:00pm — $35/day
