FULL DAY CAMPS
ages 5 - 13
9:30am - 3:30pm
9:30am - 3:30pm
Full Daycamps with Axé Capoeira are super fun and action packed! Whether you want to continue your learning or come to try for the first time, these camps are really great! The wonderful thing about summer is that your child can choose their activity and what they love to learn and we have all day to teach and practice it! Of course, our mornings always consist of more focused capoeira skill learning such as martial arts techniques, acrobatics, music, and sparring and every afternoon consists of fun outdoor activities including swimming at the Lewis Center on those hot days, fossil presentations, fire truck tours and paramedic workshops to learn how to save lives. We also have fun water games on super hot days, do a tie-dye T-shirt day and have many more activities in store. On rainy days we go out on visits to the museum and library as well as have art competitions!

Specialty Intensive camps
NEW THIS YEAR!!! Intensives are 3 hour long morning only camps for kids who want to come and practice capoeira, acrobatics, percussion and general martial arts skills. These camps will be held in conjunction with the all day camps so your child will be separated according to focus and skill level into either the intensive morning or the more fun based intro capoeira group(this is also a great time for students to bring their friends and help them learn!). Of course, you can opt to stay for the afternoon activity if it sounds like a lot of fun! Afternoon activities include, Tie dye tshirt making, swimming at Lewis Center outdoor pool, water games, Fire truck tours, Fossil demonstrations, outdoor rodas, rainy day library and museum visits, CRP first aid course etc etc!!
Below is an outline of the intensives. You can also simply sign up for the full day and if you are an experienced student, you will automatically be included in the intensive morning camp. Please note that general Capoeira conditioning, warm ups and games as well as rodas and capoeira general training is included in these camps as well.
