Thinking about enrolling your child in our Spring/Fall Break or Summer Self-Defence Camps, but want to make sure they like it first?
Test the waters by registering for one of our P.D. Day Camp! These Camps are a sneak peek at all of the fun and amazing programming we offer throughout the camp week.
Campers will learn simple but effective physical self-defence techniques, engage in age-appropriate discussions relevant to personal safety, tackle fun fitness challenges, play skill-building games, and more!
Campers are required to wear comfortable athletic clothing and clean, indoor-only athletic shoes inside the studio. They should also pack a water bottle, lunch and snacks. This is a very active camp!

Fall Break: November 9-13 2026 (5 days) – theme: Boundaries & Safe Adults
Most kids are taught to watch out for strangers. The harder thing to teach is what to do when someone they know and like starts crossing lines. That’s what this week is about.
Alongside our regular self-defence sessions, fitness challenges, and games, our daily safety chats will cover:
- Body boundaries. Your body belongs to you, and you’re allowed to say no, even to a grown-up.
- Secrets vs. surprises. Safe adults don’t ask kids to keep secrets from their parents.
- Tricky behaviour. What it looks like when someone is bending the rules to get closer to you, like special treatment, gifts with strings attached, or wanting to be alone with you.
- The “uh-oh” feeling. How to notice it, trust it, and act on it.
- Telling a safe adult. Who yours are, how to tell them, and to keep telling until someone listens.
A note for parents: this is grooming prevention, taught in an age-appropriate way. There’s nothing graphic or scary. Kids practise through games and conversation, and they leave with words and skills they can actually use.
