Our Summer Camp helps kids age 6 - 14 years old get healthier with a combination of martial arts, fitness and personal development training. The structured drills help the youngsters overcome shyness and timidity. They becomemore confident and assertive as they learn to move and control their bodies. Self-confidence and self-esteem grow.

Summer Camp at AKA also helps youngsters develop a sense of integrity about their bodies. Balance, coordination, posture, and general movements improve. Our Camp also offers an additional bonus that other sports do not provide. It teaches self-defense. In the unsettling times in which we live, knowledge of how to protect oneself can be
crucial. Parents feel more secure knowing their sons or daughters are capable of defending themselves.

Kids will enjoy some intensive training working on physical fitness, flexibility, coordination, footwork and timing for traditional techniques called forms as well as sparring techniques. They will also learn some Yoga fundamentals as it
relates to the martial arts techniques, meditation, and stretching.

Unlike other study abroad companies that simply make travel, school, and lodging arrangements over the internet, SPI teachers and directors select high quality schools, excursions and homestay families based on direct experience.

Students are enrolled in a university or accredited language school and earn college credit by attending classes. After traveling to important overnight cultural sites, students live in a local home with a native speaking family. Host families understand that the student is there to learn the language. The host family facilitates the learning process by truly immersing the student into their language and culture.
