Who is UVCC?
Upper Valley Circus Collective is a circus arts organization that offers shows, events, camps, classes and workshops for anyone who wants to explore the Circus Arts. Our programs are designed to introduce humans of all abilities to a variety of circus skills while also increasing their confidence, strength, flexibility, individual talents, team building and social skills. Not to mention it is a GREAT workout!
Participants can try their hand at all the circus skills including juggling, unicycle, fabric, lyra, trapeze, wire walking, pie throwing, rola-bola, acrobatics, human pyramids, clowning & more!
No Experience Required...All Fun!
Our History
UVCC began when our founder saw a chance to continue growing and offering a very special program in the Upper Valley. Meg saw the impact a program like this had on her own children and wanted to try and keep it growing for other kids within the community. We have had many twists and turns, starts and stops, victories and defeats along this journey, but it was always worth the efforts to bring a unique and special program to all the unique and special kids.
So, 10 years later we have grown from a 2 week summer camp with 30 kids and 4 coaches and rented equipment to what we see today; a year round program that offers workshops, school programs, session classes and 9 weeks of winter and summer programs that includes 160 kids, 11 coaches, 2 coaches in training and 1 very busy admin (Meg)!
Our Future As some of you may know, and many of you do not, after 10 summers of running around and relying on others for space to run our programs...
UVCC is moving into a permanent space in Lebanon this October! A dreamy space with tall ceilings and bright natural light just waiting for us to make it our own. It is so exciting and we are looking forward to providing a safe and inclusive space for humans of all abilities
DAILY! Our community has grown so much these past 10 years and we are thrilled at the opportunity to reach so many more people with our programs on a regular basis, in a consistent location with a schedule you can count on.
Stay tuned for a full list of all the NEW classes we are planning! We Need Your Help
Start up costs for any new business venture can be steep. Circus arts can be even bigger! Although this new space is light bright and ready for us, it also needs $50,000 in arial rigging and safety equipment (mats, pulleys, rope, rescue 8's, pole mats, etc.) before we can begin. Safety is always our top priority!
As we begin working to prepare for an opening this Fall, we are now finding ourselves asking if you can help us get there? We are hoping to fundraise and utilize grants for the full $50,000 rigging and safety equipment start up. Any amount you can spare will help us reach our goals and spread the love of circus arts in the Upper Valley community.
