Calling all monkeys!! It’s the best place in town to monkey around! It’s new, it’s hip, get ready to flip! It’s awesome, it’s cool, come hang after school. You’ll climb, you’ll fly… the real way to get high! You’ll swing from your knees on the flying trapeze. If you’re a ground monkey, that’s okay too, we have plenty of activities you’ll like to do. Like hula, and poi and juggling toys. Get ready to make some noise!
The Flying Monkey Program is created as an educational outreach to promote healthy life choices for adolescents.
The program focuses on creativity, collaboration, and most of all FUN. Kids learn new skills in a supportive environment, working along side peers and artist/educators. Every session varies in format, so students continually develop new skills. Our collaborative method, enables returning students to advance, and encourages beginners to model their peers. This cooperative interaction allows students to progress at their own pace while still working together as a team.
Activities Include:
Teens and Tweens (ages 9-19) experience a wide selection of circus delights. Participants improve their flexibility, co-ordination, fitness, and confidence while learning activities such as juggling, tumbling, acro-balance, handstands, static trapeze, hula hoops, tight-wire, bungee-trapeze, poi, flying trapeze, aerial fabric, aerial hoop and more…
