REGISTRATION FOR THE 2010 SUMMER CAMP BEGINS JANUARY 30th!

                      We have plan a GREAT camp for 2010!
                                    Sign up your child today!              


Jeff Ellis' International Karate Centers, Strongsville Dojo, offers during the summer months an exciting and unique Martial Arts Summer Day Camp to children ages 6 to 12.  The Martial Arts Summer Camp is a ten-week program that you can sign up your child to come to all summer long or sign up for just a few weeks. 

 

The Martial Arts Summer Day Camp provides the opportunity to reach young people in the same like manner as any of our programs through providing students the same martial arts training and character building skills that we are known to do so well.  However the Martial Arts Summer Day Camp provides intense concentrated study in martial arts through daily lessons to highlight martial arts skills learned and blending those learned skills into other areas of life to create balance and harmony.  The results of this mini  "boot camp" are life long improvements in vital character developmental skills.

While providing an action packed experience through the martial arts, each student will gain skills for safety, stranger danger lessons, self-protection skills, physical conditioning, and goal setting i.e. through achieving belt rank levels.  More than just an activity, karate gives children (and adults) the chance to explore their innate powers. They'll marvel as they increase in strength, flexibility endurance, balance, and harmony. Yet this is only the start.    The Martial Arts Summer Day Camp provides the following benefits for children:
     * structure
     * discipline
     * physical activities
     * respect
     * appreciation, and
     * character building martial arts classes
all under the guidance of 8th Dan Black Belt and Master Instructor Shihan Jeff Ellis.
