AMA Karate Camp Descriptions
Our goal for each camp is to provide a fun, safe, constructive, and positive environment in which children can learn and practice martial arts basics, drills, skills and forms tailored to, and complemented, by that week’s theme.
All camps are ages 7-12 and 9am-3pm unless otherwise noted. If you have other questions feel free to contact us.
