As their field trip, campers will visit the Timmins Police and the Fire Hall. On Friday, the dojo will host a special guest who will come to talk to the children about what it’s like to be a modern day warrior.

Week 4: July 26th to July 30th - Wild Water Week!

They will receive visits from a few real life superheroes!

Week 6: Aug 9th to Aug 13th -  Star Wars

This week, in a galaxy not so far away, young padawans begin their Jedi training! Throughout the week the kids will train their bodies and their minds on their journey toward becoming Jedi Knights.

As our field trip this week, the padawans will head (in 12 parsecs or less) to Science Timmins and learn about the cosmos!  When the dojo falls under Imperial attack, led by Darth Vader himself, the new Jedi defend their dojo and fight for the galaxy’s freedom!

Gracie Game Day

Gracie Game Day happens every two months and is absolutely free to our younger members. There is only one catch. They must earn their way in!

Gracie Game Day is part of our Character Development Program. The program consists of six chapters: Responsibility, Health, Respect, Citizenship, Manners, and Caring. We spend two months on each chapter. In every class, we discuss the featured character trait for 10-15 minutes, emphasising the simple things your child can do to make it a part of their life. The kids use our unique point-based system to gain enough points to qualify to attend Gracie Game Day. This system is a powerful incentive for kids and a useful tool for parents to develop positive behaviour at home and school. Gracie Game Day is so much fun that parents will often put on a uniform just so they can join the party!
