Have a kickin’ summer camp with Martial Arts World!
Our program has been serving Henrico County for over 18 years and is designed to meet each child’s needs based on age appropriate and self-confidence building activities.

We will have multiple field trips each week, such as bowling, swimming and skating, as well as, motivational Martial Arts Classes every day. In addition, we will have exciting theme days that let your child get creative with arts and crafts, music, indoor rock climbing and other sports and interests. They will be having lots of fun, while building character, self-discipline, and increasing their self-esteem. Most importantly they will develop a “Yes I Can” positive attitude!
The Weekly All Inclusive Fee for Camp is $189.00 per week for 1-5 weeks of camp, and $169 for 6+ weeks of camp, which includes all of our field trips and activities and two healthy snacks per day.

My little gal anxiously awaiting the start of class.
It’s tough to find dance classes at night and on the weekends, so we were thrilled that Romp n’ Roll started offering dance classes at 6:15pm.
This class is perfect for my four-year-old who has a strong desire to don a tutu and strut her stuff with like-minded little ladies. The staff, headed up by Mr. Roger (at our location in Mechanicsville) is super-caring and uber-patient. This is particularly helpful when your kid (if they are anything like mine) chooses to dance to the beat of their own drummer, so to speak.
If you’re not familiar with Romp n’ Roll, it’s a great place for kids to learn, develop, and grow, and there are three locations in Richmond to choose from. One really nice perk: when you’re enrolled in a course, open gym is free. It’s a great way to cool off this summer and get some energy out while meeting other Richmond kids and parents.
Of course there are lots of cool summer camps, too, and classes year-round. Check out their savings on our Savvy Saver card, we think you’ll dig it.
