Circus At Home
Balance + Acrobatics Bootcamp
Things are about to get wobbly at Camp Kinda Circus School. You'll be testing your balance with stilts made from household items. You'll walk the “tightrope” and engage in exercises that focus on control, core strength, and balance. You'll even try leaping over an "invisible box"—a trick of athleticism and focus that you’ll work on for hours. (Trust us, it’s harder than it looks.) Get ready for balance and acrobatics bootcamp!
what you’ll need
- Your Camp Kinda toolkit
- Plastic buckets (make sure they are sturdy!)
- String, rope, or twine
- Tape

Today, you'll be growing by a few inches...you're going up on stilts! But before you can learn to walk (or dance) on them, you'll need to make your own.

You're ready to take the tightrope challenge! Okay, it's nothing like walking between two skyscrapers, but staying on the “rope” is harder than it looks
