Prism Jiu Jitsu Summer Camp is a half-day martial arts camp for kids ages 5–12. The camp runs for five days and welcomes both complete beginners and children who already train in Jiu Jitsu. The program is designed to build confidence, discipline, coordination, focus, and practical self-defense skills through structured training and martial arts-inspired games.
The camp is led by Nick Angeloni, a competitive black belt with 10 years of experience teaching kids Jiu-Jitsu. He is joined by additional trained coaches, creating a 5:1 student-to-coach ratio. That small ratio is one of the camp’s strongest features, especially for younger campers trying grappling for the first time.
The camp focuses on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a grappling-based martial art. Kids learn self-defense techniques, sport Jiu Jitsu techniques, supervised movement drills, grappling games, and verbal conflict management. Since Jiu Jitsu does not use punching or kicking, the training centers on body control, balance, positioning, movement, and safe partner practice.
The camp is a good fit for active kids who enjoy physical challenges, teamwork, games, and learning skills that build their confidence. It also works well for cautious beginners because activities are grouped by level.

Prism Jiu-Jitsu Summer Camp is a day camp. Campers attend the morning session and return home afterward. No overnight lodging, cabins, dorm rooms, hotel stays, or residential supervision are included.
The camp runs from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. This half-day format works well for younger campers because it gives them enough time for warmups, games, drills, snack, and skill-building without becoming a long full-day program. It is especially practical for children who are new to martial arts or still building stamina for structured physical activity.
The program takes place inside a Jiu-Jitsu academy. Campers spend the morning on the mats, working through coached movement, grappling games, drills, and supervised partner activities. Families should plan for daily drop-off and pick-up.
This is a focused martial arts camp, not a general recreation camp. The day is built around Jiu Jitsu, self-defense, conflict-resolution practice, and active games.
Daily snack time is included in the camp schedule. The snack break takes place after warmups, grappling games, and live grappling, giving campers a reset before technique work and conflict-resolution drills.
Because the camp is a half-day program, lunch is not part of the regular schedule. Campers should bring a water bottle and snacks. If a camp session ever runs through lunch, families should pack lunch as well, but the listed summer camp schedule ends at 12:30 PM.
Prepared meals, catered lunch, cafeteria service, and special diet support are not listed. Families should pack food that is easy to manage during a short martial arts camp morning. A labeled water bottle is important because campers will be moving, sweating, drilling, and playing games on the mats.
Prism Jiu-Jitsu Summer Camp is limited to 20 kids and uses a 5:1 student-to-coach ratio. That gives campers more coach attention than a large open-gym camp. The staff includes a black belt head instructor and three additional trained coaches.
Safety is built into both the activity style and the supervision model. Jiu-Jitsu is a grappling art, so the camp does not involve punching or kicking. Techniques are taught in an age-appropriate way and supervised by coaches. Campers work through grappling games, situational grappling, live grappling, movement drills, and technique practice in a structured setting.
All staff are background-checked and first aid certified. Beginners and experienced students are grouped so each child can be challenged at a suitable level. Most campers are expected to be new to Jiu-Jitsu, so the program is designed to introduce the sport carefully rather than assume prior training.
Prism Jiu Jitsu Summer Camp is an active martial arts program. Campers should be ready to move, roll, drill, play games, and work with partners on the mats. Comfortable athletic clothing is required, such as a T-shirt with shorts or athletic pants.
Campers should bring a water bottle. The camp includes a snack break, and children should arrive ready for physical activity.
Staff are first aid certified, and the camp is supervised by trained coaches. The available camp information does not list a nurse, a medication administration process, an allergy plan, a prescription storage procedure, or an EpiPen policy. Families with medical needs should confirm details directly before the first day.
Prism Jiu-Jitsu Summer Camp gives children a structured introduction to Jiu-Jitsu through drills, games, supervised grappling, and self-defense practice. The camp is designed for both beginners and experienced students. Beginners learn fundamentals, while returning students can sharpen skills through focused technical training.
The day begins with warmups and coordination work. Campers then move into grappling games, situational grappling, and live grappling. After snack, they practice technique drilling, conflict-resolution skills, and skill-building drills. The morning ends with game time, which keeps the camp fun after a focused training block.
The program teaches both physical and verbal skills. Kids practice self-defense techniques and sport Jiu-Jitsu, but they also learn verbal conflict management. That makes the camp useful for children who need confidence, body awareness, discipline, and better tools for handling conflict
