Hyper Consistency Camp

Wednesday, June 26th  
9am-2pm


We pride ourselves in providing our students with memorable learning experiences that are not only fun but enriching to their lives. Hyper Character Development Camps are an exclusive experience set apart from our normal class schedule. This camp involves advanced martial arts training as well as character development training. The Consistency Camp will be filled with exciting challenges, activities and more, all revolving around this camp’s theme of consistency. 


Why is consistency an important character trait to teach kids? 

Teaching our students about the importance of consistency in their lives allows them to believe in themselves, work towards their goals, follow through with their commitments, have patience and to value the learning process. Understanding the value of consistency will benefit every aspect of their lives from social interactions, family dynamics, school performance, athletics endeavors and more. 


This is the list of camp lessons that will be gone over
during the Consistency Camp:
 


Habits - Success is the sum of small consistent efforts over time. 

Focus - Success isn’t always about greatness. It’s consistent hard work that gains success. 

Dedication - Whatever is difficult can be done easily with consistent attendance, attention and action. 

Dealing with Failure - Success is walking consistently from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm. 

Patience - It takes a lot years to become an overnight success. 


Camp Registration includes a special CONSISTENCY Camp Tee & Consistency Camp Kit with stickers, pin,& patch.

Space is Limited - Reserve Your Spot Now!!
