A DIFFERENT KIND OF BROOKLYN KIDS CAMP
Movement, Martial Arts, Creativity and Community
For Brooklyn families looking for an active alternative to a traditional day camp, an Aikido camp offers children a different kind of experience. Rather than focusing on competition or winning, our approach encourages cooperation, awareness, confidence, physical coordination and respect for others.
Aikido is a traditional Japanese martial art, and our camps use its principles as the foundation for days that can include martial arts practice, physical conditioning, safe falling and rolling, partner exercises, games, outdoor movement and Japanese cultural enrichment. Past camps have incorporated activities such as origami, haiku, storytelling and age-appropriate wooden weapons practice alongside focused Aikido instruction.
Our Park Slope location also gives us access to nearby Prospect Park, allowing previous camp programs to combine time on the mat with outdoor movement and activities. The result is a Brooklyn camp experience designed to keep kids physically active and mentally engaged while introducing them to the values of balance, awareness, cooperation and peaceful conflict resolution.
Camp formats, ages, activities and schedules may vary from session to session. Specific information is announced whenever a new camp is scheduled.
