Howard County Recreation & Parks offers Circus and Magic summer camps for youth and teens. These camps are instructed by experienced circus clowns (Circus Camp) and by local magicians with many years of experience entertaining children and adults of all ages/backgrounds. Young magicians will be instructed on basic sleight of hand tricks, how to make things disappear and reappear, learn magic history, and public performance skills. Circus campers are taught juggling, plate spinning, tumbling, and physical comedy (clown skills) while older campers participate in tight wire, stilts and unicycling while building self-confidence and a positive work ethic.
