KENSHIKAI SUMMER CAMP

Shihan and Senpai Andrew went and inspected the new location.

 

July 15 through 17, Kenshikai will be holding its third annual Summer Camp! This year it's going to be an ALL KENSHIKAI family affair. It's a great opportunity to relax, train, have a lot of fun and get to know your fellow karatekas a little better, from your own dojo as well as those from others.

This year's summer camp takes place at a new location. But just like the previous camp, this one is located in a lush, picturesque and serene spot in upstate New York only 90 minutes from the concrete city.
 

We depart Manhattan on Friday, July 15 in the midday (departure time, meeting location and car assignments to be announced). We depart the camp on Sunday, July 17 early afternoon.

Shihan Leighton has registration forms. Make sure you register as soon as possible because space is limited and fills up on a first-come-first-served basis.
