I've been considering having a karate camp this summer pending
interest and available funds. This is just int he idea stage right
now. I went to a taekwondo camp in 1992 or 1993 that was held at
Richmond Lake if I remember correctly. This would be a similar
event. I'm looking for input from club members on this. It would
probably be a 2 1/2 day event. People would show up Friday
afternoon or evening. Train all day on Saturday and finish up on
Sunday afternoon.
When I say train all day I mean there would be different martial
art related events going on. I'd like to bring in different
instructors to put on classes.
We'd get up in the morning and do some sort of PT (physical
training) such aa a run or cardio. Have breakfast then do class
work of some sort until lunch. More training until supper. Have
some training after supper or discussion. In the evening maybe
watch a martial art movie such as DRAGON: The Bruce Lee Story.
It would be nice to have some sort of obstacle course and maybe
even a competition on the last day.
Again this is just in the idea stage and planning right now.
Because of finances we may have to wait until summer of 2006 to do
this.
It would be nice to open this up to other dojos throughout the
state. All meals (6 that is) would be provided: Friday supper, Sat
breakfast, lunch, supper, Sunday breakfast and lunch. I wouldn't
want cost to be more than $100 per person at the most. A lot of the
cost would depend on what cabins cost to rent etc.
Again I'm looking for some input on this. Let me know what you
think and what you'd like to see or do. Just remember that we will
probably have students of all ages at an event like this.
