Summer Camp That Builds Confidence, Discipline, and Real Self-Defense Skills

A fun, structured half-day camp where kids stay active, make friends, and learn how to stand up for themselves—on and off the mats. Leslie "The Peacemaker" Smith our head instructor, is leading both camps:

Two separate camp weeks with slightly different themes:
- Jiu Jitsu FUNdamentals! July 13th - 17th
  - Build a strong base for your jiu jitsu journey
  - Whether you're brand new to jiu jitsu or looking to level up your game for competition, fundamentals help you pull your techniques together into your game
- Mixed Martial Arts Exploration July 20th - 24th
  - Jiu-Jitsu & Wrestling (with games that keep it fun and engaging)
  - Kickboxing & Practical Self-Defense
Both camps also feature:
- Athletic Development (speed, agility, coordination, strength)
- Creative Breaks with Art, Team Building & Anti-Bullying Lessons
- Bagged Lunch + Social Time with other great kids

What ages can attend camp?

Being our first year running this camp, we're trying to learn what the community is looking for. However, it is possible we might only support the 7 and older kids this year.

If you have younger children and would be interested, please fill out the form anyway. If there's enough interest we will consider working out a solution.
