About
Camp Winnarainbow offers circus and performing arts classes where campers can try activities like swinging on the trapeze, walking on stilts, juggling, clowning, unicycling, stilt walking, and songwriting. Campers also take part in writing a song, stage performances, talent shows, fire circles, dance parties, and swimming in Lake Veronica.
• Ages: 7–14 years old
• Schedule: One and two week sessions throughout the summer
Camp Winnarainbow has been a circus and performing arts camp for 50 years and was founded in 1975 by Wavy Gravy and Jahanara Romney. The camp offers one and two week sessions throughout the summer, each ending in an Open House or Big Show where families can experience the camp alongside the campers. It is fully ACA accredited and operates as a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Camp Winnarainbow has a Teen Leadership Program for 15–17 year old leaders and also offers a Friends & Family Camp. CWR’s staff and leadership have brought in trauma informed care practices, non-violent communication, and restorative justice to support children, and CWR’s talented staff teaches timing, balance, and “Survival in the 21st century, or, how to duck with a sense of humor, and a dollop of compassion.” Camp Winnarainbow’s scholarship program, The Grace & Joy Scholarship Fund, supports participation by economically disadvantaged kids and kids of rockstars alike. One camper described that kids from every walk of life come together and become a community “filled with love and wonder.”
