Frequently Asked Questions
Everything parents need to know about our youth programs
Our youth programs are designed for children ages 8-14. Knight Camp and Knight Academie both serve this age range.
For school programs, we can accommodate grades 3-12 with age-appropriate activities. Children are grouped by age and ability to ensure everyone has an appropriate challenge level.
Children should wear:
- Comfortable athletic clothing
- Closed-toe shoes (running shoes are ideal)
For day camps, pack a lunch, snacks, and a refillable water bottle. We provide all training equipment, weapons, and safety gear. Sunscreen is recommended for outdoor activities.
Safety is our top priority. We use specially designed training weapons appropriate for each age group, provide all necessary protective equipment, and maintain excellent instructor-to-student ratios.
Our instructors are trained in youth education and first aid. We've safely trained thousands of young participants since 2004 and are proud recipients of the Georgia Straight "Best Children's Camp" award.
No experience is necessary for any of our youth programs. Our curriculum is designed to welcome complete beginners while also challenging returning students.
Knight Academie uses a progressive rank system so children can continue developing skills over time.
For Knight Camp, we maintain a ratio of approximately 1 instructor for every 6-8 campers. This ensures personalized attention and a safe learning environment.
Smaller specialized activities like archery have even lower ratios.
