One-Day Camps for Youth
Kind Power Superhero Day (6-10 years old)
Every superhero needs a power. At this camp, kids discover that the strongest power is the one that protects without hurting. Campers design their own superhero persona built around aikido’s core idea of blending and redirecting force instead of fighting it, then bring that character to life through games and partner play. A fun, values-driven day built around our Kind Power pillar. No experience required.

Stand Tall: Anti-Bullying Camp (11-16 years old)
Bullying can make school feel like a place to get through instead of a place to enjoy. In this one-day camp, students learn practical ways to handle it with confidence and calm.
Aikido is a martial art built on awareness, balance, and redirecting conflict instead of escalating it. Through hands-on practice, games, and group discussion, campers will learn to:
- Stand and move with confident posture and presence
- Set clear boundaries with their voice and body language
- Stay calm and think clearly under pressure
- Safely get out of a grab or push and create space to leave
- Support a friend who is being bullied, and know when and how to get a trusted adult involved
No experience is needed. Campers work in a supportive, non-competitive setting where they can build friendships and leave with skills they can use at school and online.

Leadership Day (12-17 years old)
A day built for teens ready to grow as leaders — on and off the mat. Working in small teams, students practice the real skills of leadership: communicating with clarity, giving guidance that actually lands, and offering feedback that helps a partner improve rather than just pointing out mistakes. Aikido becomes the training ground for skills that carry far beyond the dojo. No experience required.
