Session 1, for children ages 5-8, will begin at 9 a.m., while Session 2 kicks off at 1 p.m. for ages 9-12.

The cost is $50 per child. As spots are limited, early registration is encouraged. Participants should wear athletic clothing, socks and tennis shoes. Each camper will receive a t-shirt. To register or learn more, contact Dana Winters at [email protected] or at (580) 581-2309.

Each session is designed to be fun, safe and beginner-friendly, as no prior martial arts experience is required. Kids who attend will:

• Learn beginner-friendly Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques in a safe environment

• Build confidence, focus and discipline through hands-on activities

• Develop teamwork and problem-solving skills

• Have a great time making new friends while staying active

It also helps kids grow mentally and emotionally," said Jesus Rojo, president of the Cameron University BJJ Club. "We're excited to share this incredible sport with the community's youth."

Proceeds from the camp will support the Cameron University BJJ Club and will help fund student training, regional and national competition opportunities and future community events.
