Kids Summer Camp in Arlington Heights: What's Included

Built for real life.

Give your child a summer week they will talk about all year. Our 2026 camp ran July 6–10 for kids age 5 and up, with drop-off at 9:00 AM and pickup at 3:00 PM. Campers learned real jiu-jitsu through drills and games, practiced staying calm under pressure and learned how to handle a bully safely, with a packed lunch in the middle of the day. Small groups mean coaches watch every child closely, and beginners are welcome. Summer Camp 2027 dates are TBA, and families on the interest list will hear them first.
