exciting summer day camp! Camp
Kokoro is designed for our current

SEIDO KARATE
Every morning the campers have a one
hour class in Seido Karate,
a traditional
Japanese martial art dedicated to
developing a strong,
healthy body and
a spirit of compassion and generosity.
Students
receive instruction for their
level, from beginner to junior black
belt. |
ART & COMMUNITY
The day ends back at the dojo with dance
instruction and a variety
of community art
projects. Campers have fun, are creative,
and
experience
the reward of sharing with
others and caring for their community. |
PERFORMANCE
AND AWARDS
Each session concludes with a camper
performance and awards ceremony.
All
students advance in rank in a fashion
appropriate to their current
rank, such as
receiving their first colored belt (orange)
or a red
patch for their belt, or being
eligible to test for promotion ahead
of
time. Each session is equivalent to 15
Seido karate classes. |
MARTIAL
ARTS
GAMES & ACTIVITIES
After a delicious snack, a variety of
exciting martial arts related
classes
are offered, such as nunchaku,
board breaking, Filipino
stick
fighting, kata performance and

FIELD TRIPS
In addition to martial arts instruction,
outdoor fun and creative
art projects,
each session includes an all day outing
to the very
popular
destination, Mystic
Waters in Des Plaines, an afternoon
at
Lincoln Park zoo, and visiting local
Japanese American associations,
where
they have lunch, perform their martial

connections
with their elders. |
OUTDOOR
PLAY Every afternoon, the bus takes the campers to
the lakefront for
lunch and two hours of
swimming, playing a variety of sports, and
supervised free time with friends. Daily cool
summer snacks, such
