Conditions For Participation

Eco-Circus Summer Camp strives to offer a group experience and opportunities for learning within the boundaries of safety and well-being for all participants. We reserve the right to terminate the participation of any camper, without refund and without formal hearing, if we determine in our discretion the camper or their parent/caregiver has violated the conditions for participation or has become a hindrance to the goals of the program.

Run away to join the circus and be home in time for dinner.

Exercise happens naturally in play. Play is a backdoor to discipline. Under the big top, there is a place for everyone. The more we concentrate, the more fun we have.

 

The Sanctuary

The Sanctuary is a 40-acre land trust in East Haddam, CT.

We have a yurt, big meadows, gardens, forest and beaver ponds for our community to enjoy.
