What you can expect as a parent...
Led by professional hula hoopers, this one-of-a-kind program introduces kids to the joy and creativity of circus arts. They’ll explore hoop tricks, juggling, balloon animals, and tightrope walking — all building up to the exciting Sleepaway Circus Talent Show, where confidence and creativity take center stage!
Campers stay in rustic bunkhouse cabins with caring counselors by their side to ensure comfort, safety, and plenty of summer camp fun. With daily rest time, shared cabin chores, and very limited screen use, this week is a true chance to disconnect from technology and reconnect with each other. Family-style meals served in the dining hall keep everyone fueled and happy, with attention to allergies and dietary needs.
But the thrills don’t stop under the big top! Each day is balanced with traditional summer camp activites like guided group hikes, campfire stories, s’mores, team games, outdoor movies and crafts- creating space for connection, laughter, and creativity.

Meet The Brains Behind The Camp
No great idea is born without imaginative leaders, and we are extremely lucky to have 2 of them: Amy Neel & Madison McBurney Wiggin
Combined, they have over 25+ years of experience teaching and performing. They've performed for Freedom over Texas, The Houston Thanksgiving Day Parade and for Super Bowl Live to name a few! Together, they co-own the nation’s largest hula hoop after-school program, Mad About Hoops. Through this program, they are able to inspire and enrich the lives of children all across the nation! They’ve led an incredible team of instructors and thousands of students in hula hoop halftime performances for the Harlem GlobeTrotters, NBA, MLS and university sporting events. They are gearing up for the release of their second children’s book about hula hooping - but their biggest adventure is yet to come: Sleepaway Circus!
Madison spent nearly every summer of her childhood at sleepaway camp and knows first hand how transformative summer camp can be! Amy and Madison are eager to give this incredible opportunity to girls across the nation, but with a circus spin!
With these two ladies leading, your kids are in for an unforgettable summer adventure!
