Kick your winter break up a notch with Winter Camp at Ultimate Ninjas! Campers will have some indoor fun on the American Ninja Warrior style obstacle courses, where they'll learn to challenge themselves in a positive environment. Kids gain self-confidence, acceptance and a true hunger for tackling obstacles. Led by three-time American Ninja Warrior Kirsti Pratt, kids will be valued for who they are and discover what they are uniquely capable of achieving.
During Ultimate Ninjas Winter Break Camp, kids are grouped together according to age and rotate through stations where they are coached on each obstacle. After learing how to tackle the obstacles, they have time for open play so they can pick their favorites and spend extra time on the obstacles they want to master or just enjoy! At the end of camp kids will get a chance to run through the course with their coaches just like you see on TV.
Camp will be held Dec. 26, 27 and 28, and again January 1 and 2 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
The cost for each session is $45. For ages 6-15.
