Kids Karate Camp offers a week-long Shōrinji Ryū Karate camp that includes karate training, karate drills, daily kata practice, and self-defense skills training. Campers take part in team-building activities, a karate obstacle course, speed and reaction drills, pad and bag work, team-based challenges, and partner drills. Activities also include fun karate games such as “Sensei Says” and “Lightning Blocks.”

• Ages: 7–14 years old
• Schedule: Week-long Monday–Friday sessions from 9am–2pm daily

Kids Karate Camp runs as two separate week-long sessions: one for ages 7–9 from Monday July 20th to Friday July 24th, and one for ages 10–14 from Monday August 3rd to Friday August 7th, both from 9am–2pm each day. Healthy snacks are provided, and families are asked to pack a bag lunch and water bottle for each child. For non-members, a uniform purchase is required for all summer camp age groups. Both the July 20–24 session for ages 7–9 and the August 3–7 session for ages 10–14 are marked sold out.

Shōrinji Ryū Karate is described as a traditional style of Okinawan karate that blends powerful strikes, joint locks, throws, and practical self-defense techniques, with training in both kata and bunkai (application). The camp emphasizes strengthening foundations of karate such as strikes, blocks, kata, and self-defense, and includes daily training, discussions, and reflections. The program description notes a focus on immersive training to deepen practice and refine technique, concentrated and focused instruction, accelerated progress, boosted confidence and leadership skills, resilience and discipline, and lifelong friendships and memories. Sensei Will is listed as the contact person for Kids Karate Camp at The Martial Arts Academy / The Martial Arts Academy of Marin.
