Registration is now open!

AM Camps (9:00-12:00): June 16-20 and July 7-11

PM Camps (1:00-4:00): June 23-27 and July 14-18

Step right up -- the circus is in town!

Join us for a week-long exploration of aerial and flow arts, focused on fitness and fun!

In each camp, children ages 8-13 will take a tour of aerial fabrics, static trapeze, and lyra. They’ll also receive instruction in flow arts such as silk fans, hoop, and more. Students will create a short piece to perform at the parent showcase at the end of the week. AM and PM sessions are available. Snacks will be provided.

Got multiple circus enthusiasts at home? Ask about our sibling discount! For each child a $75 deposit holds your spot. Payment plans available. Book before March 23 to get access to early bird pricing!

Our Kids Camp instructors are not just fitness professionals -- they’re also parents themselves! We can’t wait for you to join in the all-ages fun as the #DGfambam continues to grow.

Email contactus@defygravitycu.com with any questions. Payment and registration must take place through our Momence booking system. If you’re already taking classes with us, you can link your child’s account to yours for ease of use!

**Note: Defy Gravity is not a professional circus program. Our trained instructors teach aerial as a form of fitness and as a means of self-expression. All content will be intro level and taught on mats with low-hung apparatuses.
