Looking for a summer camp that will benefit your kids for years to come? UMAC’s Ultimate Martial Arts Camp is the answer. Your child will have a blast participating in fun-filled activities that truly enhance their personal development. Campers will spend each day rotating to exciting activities that increase their physical fitness, develop their self-confidence and encourage their creative minds.
They will also learn skills that increase their safety, give them the ability to resist negative peer pressure and become a “leader” instead of a “follower.” This is all done in a safe, fun and motivating environment that cultivates success.
Included in our weekly events will be visits from special guests that may include:
- Police officers
- Firemen
- EMT
- Or other safety related guests
Along with martial arts based classes, the campers will also enjoy time doing things such as:
- Arts
- Crafts
- Creative role playing
- Team building games
- Tumbling
The last day of camp is dedicated to our “Martial Arts Olympics” where all campers become medalists as they demonstrate their skills both mentally and physically.
This is a camp your child will look forward to every year! There is no previous martial arts experience necessary. The camp is open for children entering K-5 grade. All campers will receive t-shirts.
New for Summer of 2009: UMAC is also providing a series of “mini-camps” that will meet for two half-days a week at our Victor and Brighton locations, in addition to our usual Ultimate Martial Arts Camp.
In our “3-6 Year Old Camp” (Victor), we will introduce your pre-schoolers and kindergarteners to the basics of karate, including listening skills, focus, balance and coordination. Participants must be potty-trained (or a parent/guardian must be on site for the duration of the camp), and they will need to pack a snack as they will need plenty of energy for the fun and games we use to teach them karate. You can sign up a single week at a time, or for all 4 weeks. Classes are from 9:30 – 11.30 am on 7/20 & 7/22, 7/27 & /29, 8/3 & 8/5, and 8/10 & 8/12. Cost is $38 per week (Monday and Wednesday of each week).
In our “Karate Art” camp (Victor), each day we will feature a different authentic Japanese art project, complete with tidbits about Japanese culture, and then we’ll learn some karate moves while our project dries! This experience is perfect for the current karate student who enjoys art, or for the new student who is looking to try karate in a fun environment! Sessions are appropriate for students ages 4-7 or ages 8-12. (Classes will take place simultaneously but will be separated by age group). You can sign up for a single class, or for as many as you want. Class are from 1:30-3PM on 7/20, 7/22, 7/27, 7/29, 8/3, 8/5, 8/10 and 8/12, with a cost of $15/class or 4 classes for $54.
In our “Junior Camp” (Brighton), campers aged 9-14 will learn and train martial arts skills including: Okinawan weapons (safety of course), tumbling and gymnastics, obstacle courses and naturally, self-defense. For youngsters new to martial arts, this will be a perfect opportunity to learn from one of the best. For those that have taken karate, this camp will allow them to showcase their talents, pick up new skills and continue to hone their current techniques. The head instructor will be Sensei Erik Piazza who along with heading the UMAC Day Camps, is a music teacher in the Webster School District. This 1/2 day camp (8:30 AM – Noon) will be held from Monday, July 13 through Friday, July 17, with a cost of $85 for the week.
All of our camp sizes are limited, and they are expected to fill quickly, so sign up now!
