Give your children a complete immersion in the fascinating world of circus arts with the 2026-2027 holiday camps at the Regional Circus Arts Center (CRAC) in Lomme, near Lille. Open to children aged 5 to 13, these introductory camps are suitable for both beginners and those with some prior experience in circus disciplines. Led by a qualified teaching team, they offer the opportunity to discover or refine a wide range of techniques in a safe, fun, and stimulating environment.
Organized during the All Saints' and Christmas holidays of 2026, these workshops run for the entire day, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with registration only on a weekly basis, from Monday to Friday (or from Monday to Thursday for the Christmas weeks). Participants simply need to bring their own lunch, hot or cold.
Children aged 5 to 7 discover all the fundamental disciplines of circus arts through an approach adapted to their age. Throughout the week, they are introduced to acrobatics, aerial disciplines, juggling, various forms of balance, object balancing, and acting. This diversity allows them to develop their motor skills, coordination, self-confidence, creativity, and teamwork, all while having fun.
Children aged 8 to 13 benefit from a program built around a different dominant theme each week, while continuing to practice all circus disciplines. Each workshop allows them to work more specifically on a particular specialty while maintaining a multidisciplinary approach that is the richness of circus arts.
The 2026 All Saints' Day holiday program begins from October 19th to 23rd with a week primarily dedicated to aerial disciplines, complemented by workshops in juggling, acrobatics, object balancing, and acting. A second session is offered from October 26th to 30th, this time focusing on juggling, while continuing to explore the other disciplines.
During the Christmas holidays, two four-day workshops are organized. The first takes place from December 21 to 24, 2026 with a focus on acrobatics, while the second, offered from December 28 to 31, 2026, highlights the different balance techniques, always accompanied by workshops allowing participants to practice other circus disciplines.
The workshops are offered according to a pricing structure that takes into account the number of days and the participants' status. For a five-day week, the price is €173 for children already enrolled in the CRAC's weekly classes. Non-members can book their first workshop for €196, while the second and third workshops are offered at €173 each. A fourth workshop costs €180.70. For four-day weeks, the prices are €138 for members, €161 for a first workshop for non-members, €138 for the second and third workshops, and €145.70 for a fourth workshop.
