ABOUT AVE MARIA JIUJITSU SUMMER CAMP
KIDS CAMP FOR AGES 5-12 YEARS
Our Ave Maria Jiu-Jitsu Kids Summer Camp is a nine-week, half-day program designed to keep kids mentally engaged, physically active, and excited to learn throughout the summer. At the heart of our camp is the practice of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—a discipline that builds strength, coordination, confidence, and resilience in a supportive and structured environment.
Each day blends high-quality jiu-jitsu instruction with fun, team-oriented activities that encourage friendship, leadership, and personal growth. Campers will not only develop practical self-defense skills, but also learn valuable life lessons such as respect, focus, perseverance, and problem-solving.
Our program is led by Coach Jenny, who brings over 15 years of teaching experience along with a Master’s degree in Education Law. As the owner and operator of Learning Compass Florida here in Ave Maria, she combines her deep educational background with a passion for youth development, ensuring that every child feels supported, challenged, and inspired.
In addition to training, campers enjoy a variety of engaging activities such as outdoor play, in-house field trips, scavenger hunts, games, and creative challenges. These experiences are designed to balance structure with fun, keeping kids energized and motivated while building strong social connections.
Whether your child is new to jiu-jitsu or already has experience, our camp provides a safe, welcoming environment where they can grow physically, mentally, and socially—and have a great time doing it.
