Summer Camp Opening Still Available
BCC Circus Camp Openings Still Available- July 18, 2006
 | | Berkshire Circus Camp scheduled for July 31 through Aug. 19 at Berkshire Community College. |
Parents looking for a wholesome activity for their children this summer still have time to register boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15 for the Berkshire Circus Camp scheduled for July 31 through Aug. 19 at Berkshire Community College.
Now in its 13th year, the three-week, day camp provides both beginning and intermediate instruction. Beginning activities focus on such performing circus arts as tumbling, artistic cycling, juggling, clowning, stilt and wire walking, trapeze skills, partner acrobatics, and pyramids. Intermediate campers receive additional instruction in acrobatics balancing, manipulation and clowning.
Regular day camp activities include field sports, cooperative games, trust and team-building activities, and outdoor water activities. Experience has shown that most campers also gain hidden benefits in such areas as decision making, coordination, patience, concentration, self-motivation and discipline, teamwork, creativity, fear control, and responsibility.
Campers display their newfound skills to the public during two "Grande Finale" circus performances scheduled for Friday evening, Aug. 18, and Saturday afternoon, Aug. 19.
Applications are available from BCC’s Office of LifeLong Learning. The fee is $575 for beginning campers, ages 8-13, and $650 for intermediate campers, ages 13-15.
Information: 413-499-4660, Ext. 375.
