Summer & Holiday (Christmas and Easter) Camps
at American Gold Martial Arts are an award-winning combination
of martial arts classes and structured activities that will keep
your child focused, energized, active, happy and safe while you
work each day.
Four days of optional
morning field trips include supervised outings to the movies,
bowling alleys, miniature golf, parks, museums and more.
These field trips are meant to teach children tha educational
alternatives can be fun instead of just sitting in front of a
television or video game for fun. Optional in-school morning
activities are available if your child prefers to stay at AGMA
instead of go on the field trip. Students must sign up no
later than the day before a scheduled field trip, arrive at
American Gold before 9:00 am on the morning of the field trip and
wear their AGMA camp shirt in order to participate that day.
Field trips will be rescheduled in the event of inclement
weather. Admittance to the field trips is
free to the Summer Camp students,
unless otherwise notified. Parents are responsible for
sending a bagged lunch for their child on Monday through
Thursday. Optional snacks, drinks and fruit
are available for purchase at AGMA. You may deposit
money in a student account for your child to use for snacks during
the week in lieu of sending money each day.
Fridays at
American Gold Martial Arts are called "FUN
FRIDAYS" because American Gold Martial Arts Summer
Camp provides a Pizza Party and fun in-school activities on
Fridays. Do not bring your lunch on Fridays unless you don't
like Pizza ! There is NO
extra charge for the Pizza ! Afternoons are filled with a variety martial arts classes
and fun exercise classes, which will help improve conditioning,
strength, coordination, speed and flexibility. Exercise can
be fun activity which may disguised as a game. We also have
"SPAR WARS" sparring events from 6:00-8:00 pm on Fridays to give
all students an opportunity to spar in a tournament-like setting
with a referee, judges, points, penalties and weight
brackets. The winners of each bracket receive a specially
embroidered belt to wear for the week until they defend their
previous week's victory. There will be a quarterly in-school
tournament to further give the kids a sense of
accomplishment.
You may enroll
your child for a few days, a week, a month or the whole
summer! Most of our students are enrolled in our year-round
martial arts programs so there is no break in their schedule based
on the season. Some of our returning students are enrolled in
AGMA's Summer Camp each year because they are here visiting working
relatives for the summer. There is an open enrollment
program; however, we may have a limited availability of
spaces for new students because of the number of happy year round
students. Your child's participation in our AGMA field trips requires the
purchase of one or more of the AGMA camp t-shirts for the students
to wear in order to readily recognized by our staff and
off-site event personnel.
Your child's
education does not have to cease just because school is out for the
week or summer. Let American Gold Martial Arts educate them
in new ways for the summer !!! Your child will be glad
you did. In the event your child
is attending summer school classes in the morning or visiting here
for a few weeks, we have a part-time program for your budget.
The Greenbrier area school buses will pickup and dropoff your child
at AGMA if he or she is attending a Summer School program. If
your child attends a non-Greenbrier Summer School program, we will
try to coordinate with their schedule. Whatever your
scheduling needs may be, just call our Director and ask how we can
work with your family's particular situation.
