JUGHEADS Summer Juggling Camps

This summer marks the Silver Anniversary (25th year) of JUGHEADS juggling camps! Our mission is to use the sport and art of juggling to mentor children and youth entering grades 3–12 (plus the summer after HS graduation).

Our summer kicks off with two Mega All–Day Juggling Camps (June 11 & 12) designed for school-year Jughead members and experienced campers. Lunch and five snack/beverage items are provided at these Mega Camps.

Thereafter, five weeks of half–day camps are offered. At these camps, the morning sessions (9 am–Noon) are geared toward beginning/ intermediate jugglers, while the afternoon sessions (1 pm–4 pm) prioritize advanced/ expert jugglers (e.g., more self–directed and working on higher standards, routines, club passing patterns, etc.). Two snack/drink items per half–day camp are included. (Kids staying all day may have an extra item and eat bag lunches together at 12:15 pm.)

Why juggling is awesome for kids

Juggling is FUN and a great hobby for many reasons. It’s good for your mind—juggling helps to sharpen focus and concentration, as well as improving hand-eye coordination. It’s good for your body—juggling helps to improve athletic abilities; it increases the range of motion in your arms and shoulders, and is a very good workout. It’s good for building community and friendships— in addition to building self-confidence and self-discipline, juggling is a creative way to connect with friends and family while sharpening social skills. Pass juggling requires lots of teamwork, creativity and collaboration. Juggling is portable—you can do it anywhere, as long as you have something to juggle. Just ask JUGHEADS founder Paul Arneberg, who has taken juggling with him whether traveling around town or around the world.
