I thought I would try something different during the summer and have a karate summer camp. It would just be offered for the kids who are current in this session who are ages 9+. An aproximate guess of kids going would be 10-12. I can get a minimum of 6 chaperones (and more if I beg). (3 male 3 female all of them teach kids karate classes) It would be a week in a hotel (in state and we got great deal for price) Everyone has passed numerous first aid classes. Then I was thinking the kids could go in 2 different dirrections during the camp- they could train for a practice tournament or they could work towards their next belt level. I thought morning to earlly afternoon could be training:
1 hour of (kata/kihon or kumite it would rotate each day- the focuss)
30 minutes of each of whatever is not the focuss of the class
1 hour belt/tournament prep
30 min self defence
1 hour "games" (fun drills to go with the focus of the day)
optional private lessons
and of course their would be breaks inbetween the training which depending on weather would be in the hotell or outside.
then we thought we would watch the karate kid moviesin the eavning and then 1 day after training we would take the kids to a local lake. and hang out there. But we havn't even introduced the idea to the parents. Expenses for this are probably going to be about $1500. so really its not that bad.
Has anyone ever done anything like this (parents have already signed waivers for the class should they sign another for the camp) Is there anything I need to legally take care of I live in Maine. Any advice?
