An Unforgettable Experience for 15 Lucky Children

Circus Summer Camp will welcome 15 lucky children aged 8-14 who will have the rare opportunity to spend their days away from screens each week, developing life skills such as creativity, sociability, self-concentration and balance, learning to set and achieve goals and manage themselves. Oh! They will also put on a circus show! All through play and the arts of contemporary circus combining seamlessly art and sport during a period they will never forget!

Where

In a new 104m² space in Athens at Empedokleous 60-62 and Filolaou, Pangrati, they will delve into balance games and skills of the natural world, testing the limits of their ability on a journey of self-discovery and fun.

When

17/6-26/7 and 26/8-6/9 2024

Who We Are

Circus Summer Camp is based on the experience of the people and partners of fundastick performing arts who transmit the arts of the circus through quality entertainment and educational programs.

The head of the Circus Summer Camp department is Panagiotis Argyrakis. With professional experience in Marketing and Management, he founded fundastick performing arts in 2002 turning  his passion for the circus arts into a profession. He has vast experience working with children. Since 2011 he has been running the Juggling & Dexterity Club at the Latseio Elementary School of the Athens College and has taken part in the summer camps of the Athens College, ACS (American Community Schools), the Kotsanas Museum of Ancient Greek Technology, the Tetragono Art Space and of course fundastick’s own. He is married and has two children (17 and 15 years old).

At the camp we emphasize the transmission of values such as effort, trust, self-respect and teamwork and we are here to guide the children achieving small goals on the path of self-confidence.
