The ACA Camps are an all-inclusive week long training experience with a wide variety of North America’s premier authorities in Clowning and Christmas Arts. The ACA is located in Forsyth, GA, just an hour south of Atlanta, at Timberlake Retreat Center. Workshops and Lectures will cover everything from dance choreography to proper pie throwing technique, hospital clowning to circus clowning, designing you Santa person to Creating you own North Pole, and SO MUCH MORE. The ACA will not only give you practical and personal advice on your makeup, costume, and newest clown performance piece, but also allows you the chance to showcase them before an audience. As a Christmas Artist, the ACA gives you the opportunity to stretch yourself outside the boundaries you’re taught at a traditional Santa School. We encompass all the normal teachings from those institutions and enhance them with the addition of performance techniques from the art of clowning.
