Our Team
Squamish Circus Collective was built and operates because of an amazing community of volunteers and instructors. Our volunteer board of directors can be found below, but there are many more people who make SCC the community it is! We are always seeking volunteers, so please reach out if you would like to offer your skillset to support the Squamish Circus Community.
