The Salida Circus Outreach Foundation (SCOF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded in September 2007 to provide circus training to children and adults in Chaffee County as a personal development and community-building tool. Tutors offer weekly workshops and three annual camps to teach acrobatics, stilt-walking, juggling, trapeze, unicycling, plate-spinning, clowning, and more. Participants have the opportunity to participate in more than 20 shows per year at senior centers, nursing homes, festivals, fundraisers, parades, and other community events.
