Inside The Curriculum

A Summer That Actually Develops Your Kid.

Summer Camp is structured around what kids actually need over a long summer break: movement, instruction, social structure, and time away from screens. The day blends martial arts training with games, learning blocks, and supervised activity.

Campers learn the same Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, Kickboxing, and Judo material taught in our Children's Program, adapted to the camp format. Younger kids focus on coordination and listening. Older kids get more technical depth and live training.

Camp staff are background-checked, and parents receive daily updates. Half-day and full-day options are typically available depending on the week.

What You'll Learn
  • Daily martial arts instruction
  • Structured games and team activities
  • Learning and reading blocks
  • Optional outings during specific weeks
  • Snack breaks, supervised play, and outdoor time
