2020 FLYING TRAPEZE SEASON CANCELLED

Dear Flyers,

We hope you and your families have been keeping safe and healthy during these past months.

Over the past while, our team has been carefully reviewing AHS guidelines regarding Phase 2 re-opening in Calgary as it pertains to recreation services.

Unfortunately, due to financial and staffing constraints, we have come to the decision that we will not be able to open for the 2020 Flying Trapeze Season to provide classes to the general public.

Thank you for your continued support and we hope to see you all again next year!

CLASSES AND PRIVATE EVENTS

FLYING TRAPEZE CLASS

Our Flying Trapeze Class is suitable for everyone, from beginners to advanced flyers. New flyers will start with ground school where they will become familiar with the safety harness, calls, and body positions. From there, you will be guided through your first aerial tricks on our flying trapeze rig. The focus of all our classes is on skill development and our instructors will help you progress at an appropriate pace according to your level. Some classes may end with an opportunity to experience Catch - this is based on availability of a Catcher and cannot be confirmed until the start of each class.

Ages 6 and above

Class Duration: 90 minutes

Maximum: 8 students

FREQUENT FLYER PASS

If you love Flying Trapeze as much as we do, then you may be interested in being a Frequent Flyer. We offer discounts for 2, 5, and 10 passes that can be used for our FLYING TRAPEZE CLASS.

Space in classes may be limited as booking is based on first come, first served basis. Please book your class time early to avoid disappointment.

PRIVATE FLYING TRAPEZE EVENT

Looking for a great, original idea for a special occasion? Whether the event is a Birthday celebration, corporate team building, sports team party, or just to spend time with your favourite group of friends, we can accommodate a wide variety of ages and skill levels in a safe, fun, and friendly environment. No previous experience is required.

The Flying Trapeze event starts with a warm up and a stretch, followed by our “Ground School” lesson. Everyone will be fitted with a safety harness, and then be guided through performing aerial tricks on our flying trapeze rig. Based on instructor availability, we may finish with "Catch", where everyone who is ready is given the opportunity to do their trick and then be caught in the air by an instructor.

Private events will be arranged on a day and time that works for your group. Events for a larger number of participants and longer durations can also be specially organized.

Please contact us at and we will be happy to assist you in scheduling your event.

Ages 6 and above
Event Duration – 2 hours (1.5 hours Fly time; picnic space available 30 minutes after Fly for party food, cake, etc.)
