Kids’ Summer Camp: Aug. 15 & 16
Kids’ Summer Aikido Camp gives kids the opportunity to have two full days of Aikido! We start at the dojo in the morning with formal Aikido classes. Then we clean up, eat lunch, change into beach wear and head to the beach for lots of Aikido-related games and races, like sumo wrestling and bokto watermelon-cutting.
