AMP BJJ
BJJ day camp · Teacher workdays & school holidays

School's out. Drop them at AMP.

Teacher workday. School holiday. You still have to work. The alternatives are a tablet on the couch or a last-minute babysitter who doesn't know your kid. Drop them with the same coaches they would see in Youth class — real BJJ, games, and Winning Ways — and pick up a tired, happy kid at 3:00 p.m.

$75 per kid · 9:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m. · ages 5–12

Single-day camps only, 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. There is no Labor Day session. Weeklong summer camp is over. The in-house gi tournament is a different event.

Why this day is better

Better than a babysitter. Better than an iPad.

Parents come to us worried about real things. A kid who won't speak up at school. A kid who melts down when the day has no plan. A kid being picked on — or a kid with more energy than the house can hold. A teacher workday does not pause any of that. It just removes the structure that was keeping it together.

Jiu-Jitsu works on those problems because it asks the whole kid to show up — body, mind, and emotions. They learn that being grabbed is a problem to solve, not an emergency. They learn to lose a game, shake hands, and get back on the mat. They make friends who are in the room, not on a screen. There is no striking. Coaches are parents. The older kids look out for the younger ones.

And it is still a camp day. They will sweat, laugh, compete in team challenges, and eat the lunch you packed. You get your workday. They get a real day. You pick them up at 3:00 p.m. tired and proud.

  • Confidence that shows up at school — not just on the mat
  • Focus and a full-body outlet for kids who cannot sit still
  • Friends from the gym, not a random babysitter
  • Real self-defense without punches or kicks
  • Coaches who are parents and know every kid's name
  • 5.0 Google reviews from families who already train here

The character piece is not a slogan. Winning Ways is AMP's actual 12-week life-skills curriculum — respect, courage, teamwork, perseverance — built into kids classes and into camp. Same lesson they would hear on a regular Youth BJJ night.

A typical day

BJJ, games, Winning Ways, lunch, more mat time.

We do not run a minute-by-minute theme-park schedule. Coaches read the room. Younger kids get more games. Older kids get more technique. Everyone gets on the mats, everyone eats the lunch they brought, everyone is picked up at 3:00 p.m.

  1. Step 1

    9:00 a.m. drop-off

    Kids check in, say hi to a coach they may already know, and get moving. Athletic clothes or a gi — we will loan a gi if they need one.

  2. Step 2

    BJJ by age and experience

    Real Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, grouped so first-timers are not thrown to the wolves. Positions, games that teach the same ideas, and coaches on the mat the whole time.

  3. Step 3

    Games and team challenges

    The part they talk about in the car. Cooperative and competitive games that wear them out without turning the room into chaos.

  4. Step 4

    Winning Ways mat chat

    A short character lesson from AMP's Winning Ways curriculum — respect, courage, teamwork — then straight back to training. Not a lecture. A conversation on the mat.

  5. Step 5

    Packed lunch

    They eat the lunch and snacks you packed. We do not serve lunch. Send a refillable water bottle and label their stuff.

  6. Step 6

    More mat time, 3:00 p.m. pickup

    Afternoon rounds and games, then pickup at 3:00 p.m. Late pickup after 3:00 p.m. is $20 per child.

FAQ

What parents ask before they register.

Who is AMP BJJ day camp for?

Kids ages 5 to 12 on a teacher workday or school holiday when you still have to work. First-timers and current AMP students train together. This is a single-day camp — not weeklong summer camp, and not the in-house tournament.

What if my child is younger than 5 or older than 12?

Day camp is for ages 5 to 12. A younger or older child needs the head coach's OK first. Contact the gym before you register.

Does my kid need experience? Are first-timers welcome?

Yes — first-timers are welcome. Coaches group kids by age and experience so a brand-new five-year-old is not thrown into the same round as a twelve-year-old who already trains. We loan a gi if they don't have one. Athletic clothes are fine.

What if my kid is shy, anxious, or has ADHD?

Parents come to us worried about real things — a kid who melts down when the day has no structure, a kid who will otherwise spend six hours on a screen, a kid who needs to move. BJJ is one of the most-recommended martial arts for kids like that because it channels energy into a problem they can solve with their body. Our coaches are parents. They know how to read a kid having a hard morning.

Do you serve lunch?

No. Kids bring a lunch and snacks. Lunch is not provided. Send a refillable water bottle too. Kids eat together, then get back on the mats.

What are drop-off and pickup times?

Camp runs 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Drop-off is 9:00 a.m. Pickup is 3:00 p.m. Standard pickup is by 3:00 p.m. Late pickup after 3:00 p.m. is $20 per child.

How much does day camp cost?
