Camp Winnarainbow offers circus and performing arts classes where campers can try activities like swinging on the trapeze, walking on stilts, juggling, clowning, unicycling, and songwriting. Campers can also spend time swimming in Lake Veronica and taking part in evening programs such as stage performances, talent shows, fire circles, dance parties, and more. Each session ends in an Open House or Big Show where families experience the camp alongside campers.
