About
A volunteer-run youth circus founded in 1969, with its own big top seating up to 500. Kids train weekly from fall in acrobatics and other circus skills, then perform in a summer tour, recently in Basel and Zug.
New members join at 7 to 13 after two trial sessions in the fall, and can stay until 17. Parents pitch in, from raising the tent to cooking at the three-week camp.
