It’s not too late to plan a Martial Arts Summer Camp!

As we approach the end of the school year it would seem like it is too late to plan a camp but that isn’t true. Many summer camps of all varieties are full. Parents that didn’t think about summer activities in the dead of winter are stuck wondering what to do with their children during summer break. You will need to act quickly but it would be manageable.

Marketing

First, choose dates and begin to market to your existing clients.  
Print fliers and deliver them to local schools and daycares. 
Post on local community pages in Facebook, Nextdoor and Instagram. Partner with other kid friendly business to help promote your program.

Business

Decide on pricing. Do not undervalue your services just because you are late to the game. Consider requiring a deposit or offering a payment plan.
Contact KarateInsurance.com to add the camp to your policy.
Offer free tuition to older student if they help with younger ones.
Get t-shirts printed with your logo. Many websites, like customink.com can do this reasonably and quickly.  

Activities

Although, much of the curriculum should be athletic/martial arts based, don’t be forget it is summer and kids want to have fun.  So include a movie, trip to a local water park or zoo, an afternoon bowling or a fun craft.  

Summer camp is a great way to keep your income steady through out a typically slow season.  It is also a great for recruiting new students to your school for the upcoming year.
