Happy Kicks Election Day Camp: Leadership, Action & Fun on the Mats!

Public schools are closed for Election Day, but the Dojang is open! Join us at Happy Kicks on Tuesday, November 3rd for a full day of dynamic martial arts training, outdoor adventures, and creative civic-themed activities designed to build confidence, focus, and leadership skills.

Kids will explore the spirit of Election Day through engaging, hands-on activities—from designing their own campaign posters and practicing strategy at the chessboard, to participating in a fun, friendly "Camp Debate" and mock election. Throughout the day, campers will channel that energy onto the mats with traditional meditation, focus drills, and a signature Happy Kicks martial arts class.

What Campers Will Experience

Martial Arts & Focus Training: Build discipline, balance, and agility through morning meditation, dynamic warm-up drills, and an afternoon martial arts class on the mats.
Election-Themed Creative Fun: Campers design campaign posters during arts and crafts, build strategy skills over chess, and practice public speaking in our lighthearted "Camp Debate" and mock vote.
Outdoor Adventures & Games: Supervised outdoor exploration, obstacle games, and free play to keep campers active, energized, and moving.
Dojang Community & Teamwork: A supportive, positive environment that emphasizes respect, focus, and sportsmanship.
