Upcoming Camps
Camps are always fun at Martial Arts Advantage. We offer camps throughout the school year during times there is no school and each week the kids are out of school for summer break. Each camp has a different theme and we try to build activities around the theme so kids stay active and don’t get bored. And while we are keeping them active, they are also learning some skills, building confidence, and making friends. Camps are designed for ages 6 and up. Register early as our camps fill up quickly and we want to be sure and hold a spot for your kiddos!
Our Summer Camps, as well as Spring Break and Fall/ Winter Holiday Break camps are set up with Half Day Sessions. Parents can choose between Half Day AM or Half Day PM or Both if they want the full day camp experience. Our AM programs are Martial Arts Focused with certified martial arts instructors and a curriculum that follows the training we teach in our martial arts academy. Our PM sessions are managed by our After School Ninjas program and their qualified staff including Hillsborough County teachers. Camp curriculum was written by a Hillsborough County teacher and is geared toward fun and educational experiences that help students stay sharp and avoid the “slide” that can happen when they are away from the classroom.
In 2024 we are going Device Free in all camps. Parents have been asking for this for a while now and we have decided to try it. We know kids get bored easy and we will make sure our camps have plenty of activities to keep them engaged!
