Summer Camp
Full-Day Camp (9am-3pm) for Kids Ages 6-12
At Circle Yoga Summer Camp, kids are encouraged to connect to their bodies, their minds, their creativity, and their camp friends. This is a camp where kids can be kids—free from competition and pressure.
Through yoga and mindfulness-based activities, campers have fun and they learn skills for reducing stress, fully accepting and valuing who they are, and respecting others. We'll create a strong sense of community by encouraging cooperation and compassion, as we make new friends and greet old camp friends.
"Each year, my kids keep asking to go back to the camp at Circle Yoga. They love it. They especially look forward to all the traditions that make the experience unique." - A.G. (parent)
"Yoga camp is very fun because it can be very calm but also very exciting at the same time." - Darcy (Age 7)

Yoga and meditation are on the agenda at mindfulness-focused summer camps
The Washington Post Express

...If mindfulness-oriented camps are gradually becoming more mainstream, Circle Yoga’s Summer Camp was ahead of the trend. The program has been offered for more than 15 years... “Many kids come back for several weeks each summer and return year after year,” instructor Linda Feldman says.
Kids kick off the day coloring mandalas, then sing mindfulness-themed camp songs so popular with families that the studio turned them into a CD. They do a playful yoga session, with moves like “yoga freeze dance,” plus breathing exercises, guided meditation and a foot massage. They have snacks in a Zen garden and free playtime in a local playground, and they spend time silent journaling. “You’d be amazed how they do this for 20 minutes — they love it,” Feldman says. “It gives kids the permission to just find some stillness, ease, creativity and joy.” More
"The highlight of my daughter's summer is Circle Yoga Camp! She is not a "camp kid," but yoga camp is exactly her speed. There is a good balance of structure and free time, and she feels engaged and supported through the day there. She looks forward to making new yoga camp friends, the varied activities each week, going to the sprayground at lunch, and having some quiet drawing time. She feels like the teachers at Circle Yoga Camp completely understand her. Highly recommend it! - A.S. (parent)

The administrative fee is charged per camp week canceled (and per child if siblings are registered for the same weeks). We cannot provide refunds for registration fees or last-minute cancellations after May 31, and there are no prorated refunds for missed days of camp.
Space permitting, campers may transfer from one camp week to another once with no added fees. After the first transfer, Circle Yoga reserves the right to charge an administrative fee of $25 per transfer / per child.
Summer Camp FAQs

No. Our summer camp is a completely different experience than an adult yoga class. It’s playful and age-appropriate for kids. They’ll learn yoga and mindfulness techniques through play and social interaction—both of which are highly encouraged.
Absolutely. The kids have a range of experience with yoga. The counselors are always aware of the kids’ abilities and attentive to their needs.
Yes. We go outside multiple times per day, weather permitting. Campers eat lunch at the park, where there is also time for water play and free play. All campers enjoy their snacks and various activities in our outdoor garden.
The camp is a single group of up to 16 kids, and varies week-to-week.
There is one lead teacher, a camp assistant/coordinator, and at least one experienced teen assistant.
Unfortunately, we do not have the staff or space in the studio to accommodate early drop off or late pick up. Camp begins at 9am and ends at 3pm.
Many children are shy when they first come to camp, but the Circle Yoga camp environment is very welcoming and inclusive. Not to worry, our experienced counselors and our unique curriculum will ensure that by the end of the week, your child won’t want to leave!
Kids should wear comfortable clothing in which they can move easily. They will also need comfortable walking shoes to go to and from the park. Shoes should be easy on/off, as we’ll be taking them off several times a day. A bathing suit or change of clothes and towel are required for outdoor water play at the park (full day camp only).
Kids should bring lunch (full day camp only), snack, and a water bottle. It’s best if they bring all of their belongings (bathing suit/change, towel, lunch, water bottle) in one easy carry backpack, as we’ll be walking to and from the park for lunch (full day camp only).
