The 2023 Ghent Summer Recreation Program welcomed Bindlestiff Family Cirkus to the children’s camp program. On July 25th, select members of the Cirkus joined the staff and campers at the Ghent Summer Rec program, sharing laughter and learning as they played and performed together.
“It was a great day of learning and performing new skills like juggling, clowning, balancing, as well as other prop manipulation skills. The campers were engaged and excited to try something new, while playing group bonding games with some of Bindlestiff’s professional staff and teen CIT’s. Overall, it was a great experience for the campers to enjoy and be a part of…”reported Holly Taylor, Program Director for the Ghent Summer program.
Stephanie Monseu, Co-Founder of Bindlestiff concurs. “Both adult and teen Cirkus After School staff really enjoyed visiting Ghent. Holly and the Camp counselors and participants made us feel really welcome! And it was great to have Supervisor Simmons stop in!”
