Kids Summer BJJ Camp in Charlotte
Weekdays 9 AM to 1 PM, two sessions in June and July, on our mats in NoDa.
What This Camp Is
Your kids spend the morning in a real BJJ gym with our regular kids coaching staff, not seasonal counselors. Each day runs four hours and covers stretching, technique, positional drilling, supervised live rolling, a quiet block for emotion regulation, lunch, and games.
Two sessions to choose from. Families pick 5 days per week or 3 days per week. Active CJJA members receive a member rate, and families enrolling more than one camper receive a sibling discount.

Who's Running Camp
Every coach at this camp has cleared a background check through an independent youth-safety screening provider. That comes first because it should.
Camp is run by Jake, Bri, Alex, and Kimie, the same coaches who run our regular Bulldogs and Lil' Pups kids classes. Your camper isn't getting summer counselors who learned BJJ last week. They're getting the people who teach kids on this mat every week, who know how to run a room full of squirmy kids, and who will know your camper's name by Day 2.
Frequently Asked Questions
What ages is this camp for?
Ages 4 to 12, same as our standard CJJA Kids classes.
My child has never done BJJ. Is that a problem?
Not at all. The camp curriculum starts from foundational stretching, body movement, and partner drilling that work for absolute beginners. Coaches pair beginners with similar-experience campers their age for live rolling and adjust as needed.
Does my child need a gi to start?
No. Comfortable athletic clothing is fine for the first day. If your child decides BJJ is for them, you can pick up a gi after the first week.
What happens if my child gets hurt?
Camp staff are trained in first aid. The registration waiver authorizes us to administer first aid and call EMS if needed. Minor scrapes get cleaned and bandaged. Anything more serious, we call you immediately.
Is lunch provided?
No. Each camper packs their own lunch and snacks, no nuts please.
My child has allergies or special needs. Can you accommodate?
Yes, in most cases. The registration waiver captures detailed allergy, medical, and special-needs information so coaches and staff are aware before Day 1. If you have specific concerns, email kids@cltbjj.com before registering.
Do you photograph campers?
Yes, for promotional and educational use. Parents can opt out of photos in the registration waiver.
