Smirkus Camp Staff Talent Show


Last night was a special night for Session II campers because Smirkus Camp Staff had the opportunity to share our skills with the campers in the Staff Talent Show! We have an incredibly skilled staff. Being able to see everyone’s professional acts really is a treat. The campers LOVED seeing their coaches, counselors and office staff perform, giving us a glimpse into their professional lives as living, breathing, and hard-working circus performers! The campers see their own potential reflected in the coaches (many of whom were once Smirkus campers and Smirkus Troupers too!)

While campers come to 41 Clown Alley to experience the Smirkus magic, it’s our phenomenal staff who create this magic year after year. From the dining hall to Chaplin & Marceau, to Mamma Mia & Natalie, from Nurse Alice in Flo, to Danny on his bicycle, to the riggers who keep us safe, to the office staff who keep things rolling, to Clown Alley, a big thank you to our staff for working so hard, sharing their skills, and creating this Smirkus magic!

Campers and Staff cheer each other on!
