Kamp Kyoshi Oct 15-16-17 is 3 months away, time to start preparing. The cost for the Kamp will be $30 per person, this will cover all expenses for food and drinks that will be provided for the event. Unfortunately this is NOT a family event, this is a Karate Seminar. In the future, we will hold a one-day "Karate Kookout" for NAMKA members and their families. The workouts will be held outdoors rain or shine, the area where the Honbu dojo will be built in the woods has been cleared and there is dirt and sand, we will be working out in this area as well as the grassy (weeds) of the yard, shoes may be worn for those who prefer to wear them.

What to bring: At least two (2) gis, bathing suit, towels, shoes (optional) to workout in (I recommend “kung-fu” slippers, or lightweight sneakers), books, note pads, sparring equipment, cameras, video cameras, suntan lotion, leave jewelry at home, bring an open mind, thirst for knowledge, attitude for fun and a heart for commitment…..

If you choose to “camp” on property, only tents are acceptable, I will get information on local motels, they are very cheap in these parts (mom & pop type), I will provide info on motels in the next couple of weeks as well as the ones in town (a bit farther away). For those who arrive Friday, there will be a workout night, for those who arrive on Saturday, be on time for first “bow-in” at 10am. The official “bow-out” on Sunday will be 3pm. Please plan to stay until the end.

I will be sending a registration form to dojo owners to disseminate to your students, I would like to make the deadline Oct. 1^st. so I can get a count of how much supplies I will need to get.
