All the inside scoop
Camp time is 9 am -3 pm.
Free-Time Items: Campers can bring items for use during the lunch break or at the end of the day. Only toys or objects that can fit in a backpack. Slime IS NOT permitted.
FRIDAY IS NERF WARS-please label & bring your own gun, darts, and eye protection.
No shoes on the mats. Socks are fine but not required (some kids find the feel of the mats weird) We have cubbies where shoes/socks, personal items are stored.
Electronic Devices: During camp hours, use of electronic devices are not permitted. Campers may only use electronic devices during before or after care. American Family Martial Arts (AFMA) provides old fashioned board games. The kids actually love playing them and it encourages interaction.
Lunch: Campers must arrive with a packed lunch each day. Do not bring anything that needs to be heated or refrigerated. We provide water from the water fountain for drinking. Students can also purchase gatorades, soft drinks, water and capri suns for $1.
Campers are asked to eat in the floor area-lobby NOT on the training mats. They are expected to clean up any mess they make and put away their own lunch debris. Campers are expected to help clean & straighten the lobby area after lunch.
EXCEPT ON FRIDAY: On Fridays, we ask everyone to bring $4 and we order PIZZA!! Cheese and pepperoni. If there is a food allergy please let us know so we can work out an alternative.
Snacks: We provide 1-2 snacks per day. Typically this is a choice of goldfish or animal crackers and a fruit like bananas or grapes.
FRIDAYS. There is NO AFTERCARE ON FRIDAYS. We’re tired and your kids are tired of us. We lock the doors at 3 pm. If there are left-over children, they will be fed expressos, tickled and given a shelter puppy or kitten to take home. Plus we start charging $1 per minute.

All weapons are available for purchase at our schools. You can purchase the 1st day of camp or come the week before.

It’s a fact of life. Kids get sick.
In general we follow the school board policies about illness. Except we don’t require a doctor’s note.
If your child becomes ill during camp, we will call you & proceed from there.
Children must be fever free without the use of medication for 24 hours before returning to camp. This includes vomiting and diarrhea. If your child becomes ill during camp week and is unable to return, we can talk about different refund options: credit for testing, credit for classes (non students)
Children will be required to use hand sanitizer upon entering the building
Children will be required to wash their hands before eating as well as in between activities
Children will be using hand sanitizer or washing their hands MULTIPLE times during camp
Children will be provided with a reusable water bottle on their first day of camp. Staff will help them fill it up as needed throughout the day.
Hard surfaces will be sanitized several times throughout the day.
At the end of the day, mats will be disinfected.
Please understand that summer camp is an active environment where children will be coming into contact with each other. It is not logistically possible to social distance while playing games.
Shorts & a Tshirt!
Shoes are not allowed on the mat and can be placed in the open cubbies.
The reason we don’t wear shoes-it keeps the mats clean, germ free & reduces wear and tear.
Think about where the nasty places those shoes walk in -parking lots are super icky!
Socks are optional but we do prefer them to be off as they can make things slipper-er. However, some kids find the texture of the mats weird so wearing socks is perfectly ok.
