Parents:

• Are you looking for an empowering alternative to your typical Summer day camps?
• Do you like the idea of your child engaging in fitness, self-defence, and character-building activities in a fun and positive and yet safe and disciplined environment?
• Have you always wanted to have your child try the martial arts during the regular school year but just didn't get the chance?

Now is your outstanding opportunity to register your child in our Taekwon-Do Summer Camp in July and August for children aged 5-13.

DISCLAIMER: Training and practicing in the martial arts is inherently dangerous. All training, with exception of practicing Patterns as explained by the instructors of this Academy, should be pursued only in the controlled environment and under the supervision of a trained instructor.

LEGAL INFORMATION AND NOTICES

Benefits:

Both my sons have benefited tremendously from the camp.  At the end of the first week of camp, they were so pumped, that they wanted to join a for a second session.  Their patterns, confidence, and inter-personal skills were all enhanced.  We hope that you will continue to offer these great opportunities for the community.  Thank you!!! - Rubina L.

Camp Description:

Our high-energy, action-packed, and fun-filled Taekwon-Do  Summer Camps will consist of a martial arts component (Taekwon-Do, ABC's of Self-Defence, and our award-winning Bully Busters program) and a wide variety of sports, games, fun and water activities, arts and crafts, and team challenges.

We evaluate Eric's summer camp as a very positive experience. The life skills teaching made a strong impression on Eric. He seems to have paid attention and understood the messages passed by the instructors. I congratulate you and your team for offering the students a balanced environment with martial arts and fun as well as self-confidence and respect. Congratulations! - Julio and  Sandra P.

Each day there will be a theme related to one of The Leadership and Life Skills training we teach at our academy: Courtesy, Respect, Focus, Discipline, and Teamwork.  Our approach is that of positive recognition where positive behaviour is acknowledged.

With all the variety our camp has to offer, there is something for everyone that results in an amazing and positive experience for all campers.

"Our children thoroughly enjoyed the camp.  They only had positive comments.  When I asked each one individually what they liked about camp, both of them said it was Taekwon-Do instruction that they enjoyed most.  This was great to hear, especially when water fights and pizza parties were also on the agenda.  The counselors were held in very high regard with both of them. 

The support and reassurance that my son received from everyone was greatly appreciated.  He said “it was the best camp ever”. Thank you very much for providing our children with such a great experience."   Best regards, Tim and Tina W.

Thank you so much for the outstanding camp that Matt attended.  Matt has attended several camps in the last two years but the Taekwon-Do Summer Camp has been by far his favourite.  Every evening he excitedly described the excellent training, fun activities and awesome leadership team.  Each night he told us that he wants to attend every Taekwon-Do camp in the future.  I can’t imagine a greater testament to describe the rewarding experience it was for him.  We were very impressed with the way the leadership team members greeted us each day.  They proudly described Matt’s progress and achievements and in doing so helped him to become more confident. - Greg and Louise P.

Typical Day:

After the first week of Summer Camp in July, both Julia and Maxwell expressed a genuine interest in attending more Taekwon-Do Summer Camps. Thus in August, their second week of camp proved to be even more enjoyable for them, yet challenging them at the same time. I could see an improvement in their patterns, control in their kicks and most importantly for my son, his ability to remain focused on the task at hand. There was a difference in my son from the start of summer versus after the Summer Camps. - Margarita and Tony C.
