What happens at Aerial Arts Week if the weather is bad?
Aerial Arts Week offers a concentrated curriculum, but it is still an array of skills that can be practiced both indoors and outdoors. Flying trapeze, which is rotated into the schedule at a level consistent with our campers’ strength and stamina, is necessarily taught outdoors, in the field behind the gym building. If the weather is inclement enough to preclude flying, campers get additional practice on the lyra, the static trapeze, the Spanish web, the hammock, the trampoline, or in partner acrobatics for that time period. The decision to suspend flying is always made on the basis of safety and enjoyment for our campers.
