MAA Camps General Information
Camps at Martial Arts Advantage are packed with energy, fun, and adventure! We offer camps all year long—during school breaks and every week of summer—with exciting weekly themes that keep kids moving, engaged, and never bored.
While they’re having a blast, campers are also learning new skills, building confidence, and making friends in a safe, positive environment. Camps are designed for ages 6 and up, and spots fill fast—early registration is highly recommended!
Flexible Half-Day Options
All Summer, Spring Break, and Holiday camps are offered in Half-Day sessions:
AM Session: Martial arts–focused training led by certified martial arts instructors, following our academy’s curriculum.
PM Session: Run by our After School Ninjas program, staffed by qualified educators—including Hillsborough County teachers—with a curriculum designed by a local teacher to be both fun and educational. These sessions help kids stay sharp and avoid the “summer slide.”
Parents may choose AM, PM, or both for a full-day camp experience.
Device-Free & Fully Engaging
All camps are 100% device-free. With action-packed activities planned throughout the day, kids stay engaged, active, and having fun—no screens needed!
