Local entrepreneur Mateo Kehler of the Cellars at Jasper Hill expressed his excitement for the project. Smirkus predicts an economic impact of a quarter million tourism dollars annually on the local area and an addition of fourteen permanent and seasonal jobs.

Plus our new facility will bring jobs and tourism to the area and will double the capacity for scholarships, allowing Smirkus to reach more kids from the Northeast Kingdom. Now we have room to add as many as 200 campers every summer.
“We hate to turn away children with circus stars in their eyes, but our previous facilities just couldn’t hold all the kids who want to run away to Smirkus. “There are so many reasons to be excited about our new home for Smirkus Camp,” remarked Ed LeClair, Executive Director of Circus Smirkus. The company is thrilled to be bringing Smirkus Camp back to Greensboro-just eight miles from its world headquarters and the well-known Big Top Tour-in 2015, just in time for the camp’s 25th Anniversary. The circus plans to remodel the existing facilities and construct new dormitories to allow its summer camp to bring over 600 campers to the Northeast Kingdom each summer to learn the art of taking a pie in the face. Last Wednesday, Circus Smirkus, Vermont’s favorite youth circus, purchased a 135-year-old farmhouse and barn on 35 acres in Greensboro, Vermont, with plans to build a permanent home for the Smirkus Camp.
