The Forge Difference

Not Daycare. Not Chaos.
A Different Kind of Summer.

Built for working families who want more than just somewhere to drop their kids. Every part of the day is designed to grow confident, capable, self-assured kids — while they're having a blast.

01

Structure creates freedom

Kids thrive when expectations are clear. Every day has a rhythm — that's why they leave calm, not crashing.

02

Challenge builds confidence

We don't remove difficulty. We guide kids through it so they discover what they're capable of.

03

Fun has a purpose

Everything is engaging. Nothing is random. Growth is the goal — fun is the delivery system.

Two Camps. Two Vibes.

Which Camp Fits Your Kid?

We run two very different experiences. Pick the one that matches what you want this summer — or do both.

Fun for Everyone

Summer Day Camp

Structured fun · Martial arts mixed in

The classic Forge summer experience. Big-energy days packed with games, art, music, Nerf wars, special guests — and a daily martial arts class woven through it all.

Best for parents who want
  • A fun, varied summer with a TON of activities
  • A taste of martial arts — not full immersion
  • Extended hours and meal plan options
  • Open to all kids, no membership required
Ages5–12

Serious Training

Martial Arts Camps

Full martial arts immersion · 5 days

Twelve weeks of training packed into one. TKD or BJJ — five days of focused mat time, with a belt or stripe promotion Friday at noon. For kids who want the real deal.

Best for kids who want
  • A full week of nothing but martial arts
  • A real shot at a belt or stripe promotion
  • To level up faster than weekly classes allow
  • Physical and mental challenge — and they love it
