DAY CAMPS
2025
Daycamps with Axé Capoeira are super fun and action packed! Whether you want to continue your learning or come to try for the first time, these camps are really great! The wonderful thing about summer is that your child can choose their activity and what they love to learn and we have all day to teach and practice it! Of course, our mornings always consist of more focused capoeira skill learning such as martial arts techniques, acrobatics, music, and sparring and every afternoon consists of fun outdoor activities including swimming at the Lewis Center on those hot days, fossil presentations, fire truck tours and paramedic workshops to learn how to save lives. We also have fun water games on super hot days, do a tie-dye T-shirt day and have many more activities in store. On rainy days we go out on visits to the museum and library as well as have art competitions!
