Fast Facts
More Than Kicks and Punches
Our summer camp in Wilton is built around the same core values that drive everything we do at SDSS: the Life Skills that define our program and our community. Every day on the mat, campers aren’t just learning martial arts — they’re developing self-discipline, self-control, patience, honesty, and respect. These are the values we believe every child needs to thrive, not just in the dojo, but in school, at home, and throughout their lives.
Our certified instructors weave these Life Skills into every session, so your child isn’t just having fun — they’re growing into a more focused, resilient, and confident version of themselves.
But camp isn’t all drills and stances. We mix in arts and crafts, creative projects, group games, and enrichment activities that keep every kind of kid engaged. Past campers have painted pottery, decorated custom cookies, worked on team challenges, and enjoyed outdoor time around Wilton’s beautiful surroundings. We’ve also partnered with Kumon to bring an academic enrichment element to camp, giving kids a chance to sharpen their minds alongside their bodies. Every week brings something new.
We also believe that great memories happen around great food. Pizza parties, sweet treats from local favorites like Painted Cookie CT, and ice cream from College Creamery have become beloved camp traditions that kids look forward to all summer.
