Summer Camps
Five-day outdoor martial arts
summer camps for kids ages 6 to 12!
Unlock your child's imagination at One with Heart's summer camps! Each camper will learn martial arts in a fun safe environment with skilled instructors from the One with Heart community. Our camps are packed with adventure and excitement from day 1 and have a healthy dose of martial arts training at all skill levels.
Drop off is at 8:30am and pick up is by 3pm, Monday through Friday.
Each 5-day camp combines large and small group activities to let campers build their community and teamwork skills. But it's not all martial arts training -- campers have opportunities to let their creative sides shine with arts and crafts or improve their athleticism with sports like basketball and tetherball. What about those famously hot Portland summer days? One with Heart camps are prepared with water balloons and other games to cool off the campers.
Best of all, all campers get to come together at the end of each week to show off their martial arts skills and complete a quest to earn a reward!
One With Heart has been teaching kids classes since 1984. All of our talented, attentive instructors are selected for their teaching skills and their ability to connect with kids. These instructors have all passed background checks and have been training at One With Heart for years.
