Every Parent's Summer
Ten Weeks Is A Long Time.
Screens from breakfast to dinner
A full day of moving, learning and laughing
Camps where nobody learns anything
A real skill with visible weekly progress
Your shy kid stuck at the edge
Small groups where every child gets pulled in
September behavior reset from zero
Focus and routine carried into the school year
1999
Teaching Newtonville kids since
Designed For This Age
They come home tired and proud.
Camp here is led by the instructors who teach our year-round kids classes, under Master Danny Sohmer. That means real martial arts instruction rather than a filler activity, and the same values we teach all year: respect, inclusion, dignity and effort. Families who have never trained with us are welcome — plenty of campers walk in on day one knowing nothing at all.
Real Skills
Kids leave camp genuinely able to do things they couldn't in June.
Teamwork
Partner drills and group challenges that build actual friendships.
Life Skills Daily
One clear lesson a day — respect, effort, honesty, perseverance.
Energy Burned
Active mornings and afternoons, so bedtime gets easy again.
Safe And Supervised
Small ratios, padded floors, and instructors who have taught for decades.
Weeks That Fit
Book the weeks you need — ask us what's still open.
Morning To Pickup.
Arrival & Warm-Up
Kids bow in, stretch out and get the day's goal.
Martial Arts Block
Technique instruction at their level, in small groups.
Lunch & Life Skill
Eat, reset, and talk through the day's lesson.
Games & Challenges
Team games, obstacle work and friendly competition.
Bow Out
A recap of what each child did well before they head home.
Exact daily hours are set with the spring schedule — call for this summer's times.

Parents Are Amazed
What Camp
Families Say.
"My kids love going to Giroux Brothers for karate. Danny is an excellent instructor, he is able to teach a room full of kids of all different ages and abilities while keeping them engaged, responsible and having fun. It's very inclusive. So happy we found this place, I wish I had started my kids even younger!"
— Katie Morris
"Our 9 year old son has been taking karate classes at Giroux Brothers Newton for 3 years. We have seen him grow in confidence over the years. The studio is a good balance of discipline, respect, and fun, which is so important to have the kids wanting to come back. Our son also loves the weeklong camps in summer."
— Lauren Cornella
"Great place. My kids love their classes at Cabot School and summer camp. Danny is super organized and responsive. Recommend!"
— Antonia Prieto
"Danny and team are awesome! This is one of the classes my kids always look forward to!"
— Neeraj Mahajan
"Did karate here since 2008, made good friends."
— Ronen Danziger
"We started as white belts, and over the years, we've evolved together, earning our black belts. Whether you're a novice or returning to karate, Giroux Brothers delivers boundless benefits for all ages."
— Chad Updyke
"For my younger son, who's on the autism spectrum, private lessons with Coach Steve have been transformative. From struggling with following one instruction to now participating fully, his progress has been heartening."
— Liz Katz
"The amazing instructors have successfully instilled values of respect, inclusion, dignity, and loyalty in my young son. He's more than just a student; he's a part of a nurturing community."

"I walked onto this mat as a student in 2002, and it became my second home. Come as you are. I'll personally make sure your first class feels as welcoming as mine did."
