Florida State University Circus by the Sea Comes to Panama City Beach

Circus Camp 2008 Children ages 7 - 12

Panama City Beach – Circus by the Sea 2008

Note that even though I wrote this great article Circus By the Sea packed their tent and went home the second week in July.  A classic case of poor marketing.

Are you looking for a unique activity for your children while you are relaxing in Panama City Beach this summer?  I do not know about you but after a day or two on the beach my kids were always looking for something new and exciting to do.  Panama City Beach will offer an opportunity that I have never seen before at any of the beaches that we have visited over the years.

On June 13, 2008, Florida’s newest seasonal attraction – Circus by the Sea– will spring to life at Frank Brown Park in Panama City Beach, bringing a dazzling three-ring aerial and stage production to vacationers and residents alike.  Circus by the Sea will showcase junior and senior performers from the renowned Florida State University Flying High Circus, celebrating 60 years of spellbinding entertainment.  Yes Florida State University does have a Circus.  My son and I toured the campus Big Top on a college visit in October.

Circus by the Sea will provide a wonderfully unique family entertainment option during one of Panama City Beach’s busiest seasons.  With seating for 2,000, the colorful, air-conditioned beachside Big Top will start to rise above the sandy shores at Frank Brown Park on May 12, 2008. Nightly performances will begin on June 13 and will run six days a week (Monday thru Saturday) through August 2. Audiences will enjoy a full evening of jaw-dropping routines rivaling any professional troupe, with occasional special guest intermission performances. Admission is $24 for adults, $16 for children (ages 4-16) and free for children under 4 years old.

Parents, here is the best part of the deal - Circus by the Sea will also debut the area’s first children’s circus camp, which will include lessons in a wide variety of thrilling circus performance skills, entertaining games and fun activities.  From June 23 through July 31 Circus by the Sea will hold week-long (Monday through Thursday) Circus Camps
from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for children ages 7 to 12.  Working one-on-one with FSU performers, circus campers will learn to perform various basic circus performance skills, from balancing acts to juggling, and even flying high on the trapeze.  Circus Camp will improve self-confidence, coordination and overall fitness.  Children will also participate in games and recreational activities; lunch and snacks are included.  Cost is $285/child.  Discounts are available if you have multiple children participating in the camp.

Grown ups do not be disappointed because groups of all ages can sign up for circus training on Fridays, by reservation only.  Join the circus for a day with the whole family; you’ll leave with some noteworthy new skills and memories of a lifetime.  How about a camp for corporate team building?  The Circus is also an opportunity for a spectacular special birthday party!

Frank Brown Park is only a couple of miles from Celadon Beach Resort and the best one bedroom condos on the beach.  Have fun at the Circus!!
