When the school year comes to an end, parents scramble to find summer activities for their kids. I struggled to find a karate day camp in the area, but was disappointed with the slim pickings. I did find excellent tennis camps, fencing camps, art & music, dance and gymnastics day camps. I enrolled my kids in tennis and fencing camps.

The reason I mention this is that summer day camps in my area cost a pretty penny. Anyone running a dojo of their own would do well to consider running a summer day camp for children. You'll need to fill the day with non-karate activities as well as teach the basics. Maybe include outings, movies and games. You've got to make it fun so that the children enjoy themselves. Happy children make for repeat customers and future black belts.

Osu!
