We are headed back to the hills of Western Maryland for a ninth year of fun and training at the NORMAL Challenge Camp.

 

The National Organization of Registered Martial Arts League will co-sponsor the camp. We will plan for four fun filled recreational and educational days of camp activities along with some of the best Martial Arts instruction available in the United States.

 

 

All Styles of Martial Arts as well as all belt ranks are invited to join us.  We recommend that all the campers be at least 7 years old and have been away from home prior to this camp.  Parents are encouraged to attend and to participate  in the weekend of activities.
