2007 Summer Camps
Second Annual Summer Camp a Huge Success
Our 2nd annual Summer camp was a huge success! Due to the overwhelming popularity of our First Summer Camp, we scheduled a 2nd one this year; scheduled for August 13th - 17th. Round 2 was just as fun and informative as the first one, with guest instructors, outdoor workouts and more.
First Annual Summer Camp a Big Hit
27 students graduated Valley Tang Soo Do Academy's 1st Annual Kids Summer Karate Camp on June 30th. All students, ages 4 to 16, graduated the camp with new skills and the confidence to handle difficult situations, but best of all, THEY HAD FUN.
Beginning and younger students were grouped together in Session 1 which met daily from 10 AM to 2 PM. They learned basic martial arts skills along with balance, coordination,and listening skills. Session 2 met from 12 Noon to 4 PM daily with emphasis on impoving already learned techniques and self-defense skills; all with special emphasis on mentoring and teaching the younger students.
Camp Day 3 was spent at a local park practicing stranger safety, awareness, and self-defense skills in a 'real world' environment; role playing was the highlight of the day for the 'bullies'. The pizza party and graduation on Day 5 featured awards given out to outstanding students in the following areas; Best Technique, Most Improved, and Best Attitude. Day 5 also featured Free sparring, open tournament fighting and TKD sparring for Session 2.
Some of the Session 2 students enjoyed the sparring sessions so much, they went home and mowed a sparring ring into their yard so they could practice over the weekend. All the graduates left Camp with smiles on thier faces, eager to participate in the next Valley Tang Soo Do Academy Camp (Round 2). |
