Summer Camp A Huge Success!
We just completed our Youth Summer Camp and everyone had a great time. We had 25 children in attendance and not only did we learn alot, but we developed teamwork, friendships, and participated in some fantastic activities. Our day started at 9:00, ended at 12:00, and lasted Monday through Friday. Our day went as follows:
1. Exercises
2. Martial Arts Class
3. Life Skills Lesson
4. Break and Snack
5. Activity 1
6. Activity 2
7. Dismissal
Our important life skill lessons were:
Knot tying - (square knot)
First Aid
Fire Safety
Stranger Awareness
Fourth of July Safety
The children were a pleasure to work with and all arrived at the dojo eager to learn and full of energy. We finished the camp off with two group pictures and everyone went home with an Aikido Academy of Self-Defense T-shirt. I want to thank my Adult and Junior Leaders who assisted with the camp, the parents who supported the camp, and of course all the campers. See you next summer!
