Summer Camp Details

All Toronto Kyokushin summer camps run from 9:00am to 5:00pm daily (except the August Ontario Civic Holiday). If extended care is needed, parents can arrange to drop kids off as early as 8:00am for pick-up as late as 6:00pm. There are limited spaces available for all camps to ensure that instructor-to-camper ratios remain low.

Parents are responsible for providing their children with a nut-free lunch, two nut-free snacks and a refillable water bottle. Swimsuits and towels are required on beach and splash pad days (weather permitting). Sunscreen is advised throughout the day, and camp counsellors can help the kids re-apply it as necessary.

Kids attending should bring their karate uniform if they have one. However, no prior martial arts experience is necessary, and a karate uniform (dogi) and sparring equipment are not required. In this case, participants should wear comfortable clothes that they can exercise in. Plus, each child that attends a summer camp gets a free camp T-shirt!
