What Your Child Will Learn at Ninja Camp

Ninjas-in-Training must study to master the SwiftKick Ninja Code. Campers will spend their days training in fun martial arts moves like kicks, punches, rolls and blocks. They will also learn new skills like making and using ninja weapons and techniques for eluding opponents (imaginary ones, of course!) The campers’ hard work and perseverance will culminate on the final day when each ninja-in-training will face a series of epic challenges to demonstrate their mastery of the Ninja Code.

  • Martial arts techniques
  • Making craft ninja weapons
  • Sword and ninja weapon skills
  • Interactive obstacle courses
  • Stealth and elusion tactics
  • Ninja stories and history
  • Teamwork challenges
  • Fun ninja games

At Ninja Camp, kids come away with so much more than new martial arts skills, increased strength and improved coordination. All activities are designed to encourage creativity, self-confidence and teamwork. Campers learn the values of hard work, discipline, patience and integrity through interactive games, fun challenges and team activities.

A week at Ninja Camp helps kids: 

  • Build character
  • Cultivate discipline
  • Learn patience with themselves and others
  • Develop a greater sense of integrity
  • Solve problems with confidence
  • Create positive friendships
  • Feel self-assured in the face of a challenge
  • Set a goal and accomplish it!
