The Tomorrow’s Leading Knights Program has been tailored to include many different types of activities that are structured in an effective and dynamic progression for children to participate in everyday. Not only is daily martial art training a part of all the fun, but productive activities and life lessons are an integral part of the experience here at the dojang (our school). Our program is designed for kids entering Kindergarten-6th grade. We also have an opportunity for kids entering 7th grade and up to be a Jr Camp Counselor!! For more info on the Jr Camp Counselor Position email our program director for an application or for more info!!
Some Highlights of the Daily Activities:
- Structured Programming is from 9am to 5pm each day, however children are welcome arrive between 8:30 and 9am each day for some games and fun to get warmed-up!
- A structured activity related to the Weekly Camp Theme takes place, and each week of camp has its own theme and mission. Please see the details about each session to get a better feel of the cool and insightful activities the kids will jump into.
- The morning Martial Art Training session is a solid 1.5 hours of detailed training on a specific topic. While we will still work on the “traditional belt material” each camp also has a focus to help the kids get better at specific topics. Along with, self-defense, agility, acrobatics, sparring, grappling, and foam weapon practice, the training also promotes self-discipline, self-confidence, and personal responsibility.
- Another martial art session takes place in the early afternoon, and again continues along the theme of the week in greater detail. As a reminder, we do break up the children into different groups depending on next year’s school age. TIGERS = Kindergarten & 1st graders | JUNIORS = 2nd through 6th Graders
- More activities and programming related to the special theme of the week takes place, as the projects are intended to evolve and develop throughout the entire week so that important life lessons and fun times are had. Each week’s theme promotes growth in a fun and exciting way.
- Along with all of the “structured” activities we also have time to simply play and have fun too. We will be sure to get at least one day of archery down by the Minnehaha Creek in each week as well.
- Finally, structured activities are done at 5pm and pickups are welcome at that time, however, since many parents are working we will keep playtime open for another hour – Last pick-up is at 5:30pm!
