PHOENIX — Rainbow colored hula hoops spun around campers’ waists as they laughed and practiced on the basketball court at Capitol Elementary School.
Just steps away inside the school’s gymnasium, young participants balanced on giant exercise balls, walked on stilts, juggled and climbed aerial ropes hanging from the ceiling.
While many children spend their summers scrolling through social media, watching TV or playing video games, these campers are choosing something different. They came to the Phoenix Youth Circus Arts program for hands-on learning and physical activity.
