Spring Break Capoeira Camp 2027
Move - Play - Create - Connect
Looking for a Spring Break experience that keeps your child active, engaged, creative, and connected?
Our Spring Break Capoeira Camp is a week filled with movement, play, music, creativity, Brazilian culture, and of course lots of Capoeira!
Throughout the week, campers will explore their physical abilities through Capoeira, acrobatics, movement challenges, games and obstacle courses. At the same time, they’ll have opportunities to express their creativity through music, rhythm, arts and crafts, and hands-on cultural activities inspired by Brazil.
Children will experience Capoeira not simply as a martial art, but as a powerful combination of movement, music, culture, creativity, and community.
Learning Through Play
Our philosophy is simple: children learn best when they are moving, exploring, creating, and genuinely having fun.
Campers will practice Capoeira movements and acrobatics, play Brazilian instruments such as the Pandeiro, Atabaque, Berimbau and Agogo, learn songs and words in Portuguese, participate in creative projects and take part in games designed to develop coordination, balance, confidence, strength, and problem-solving skills.
The goal is never perfection.
Instead, we create opportunities for children to challenge themselves, discover what their bodies can do, try something new, and take small, brave steps outside their comfort zones.
Confidence, Teamwork & Community
Some of the most important learning happens when children work together.
Through partner activities, group challenges, music, games, and Capoeira, campers learn how to communicate, cooperate, support one another, and celebrate each other’s accomplishments.
We work intentionally to create an environment where different personalities, backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels are welcomed.
Whether a child has practiced Capoeira before or is stepping into our academy for the very first time, beginners are always welcome.
And one of our favorite parts of camp is seeing new friendships begin.
A Great Introduction Before Summer
Spring Break Camp is also a wonderful opportunity for families who are curious about our Summer Camp but haven't experienced our program before.
Think of it as a preview of the summer experience.
During this week, children become familiar with our instructors, academy, daily rhythm, teaching philosophy, expectations, and community. They learn how our camp days flow and become comfortable with our approach to movement, creativity, teamwork, and independence.
That means that when Summer Camp arrives, your child isn't walking into a completely unfamiliar environment, they already know the space, understand the routine, recognize instructors and friends, and can arrive ready to enjoy the experience.
For returning campers, Spring Break is a chance to reconnect, keep moving, see friends, and get excited for another summer together.
More Than Something To Do During Spring Break
We want children to go home happy, active, proud of what they accomplished, and excited to come back the next day.
Our Spring Break Camp is designed to give children a place to move their bodies, use their imagination, experience another culture, build confidence, make friends, and simply enjoy being kids.
March 29 – April 2, 2027
Come spend Spring Break moving, creating, playing, and discovering Capoeira with us.
Adventure starts here—and Summer is just around the corner!
Stay Connected Throughout the Day ❤️
One of the things our camp families love most is our private Parents & Guardians WhatsApp Group.
Throughout the day, our team shares real-time photos, short videos, and updates so you can see what your child is experiencing from Capoeira and music to creative projects, games, outdoor activities, and all the little moments in between.
We know that many parents are at work while their children are with us. This is our way of helping you stay connected to your child's day, even when you can't be there in person.
You get to see the smiles, the new friendships, the challenges they overcome, and sometimes even that special moment when they accomplish something for the very first time.
And at pickup, instead of only asking “What did you do today?”, you'll already have a little window into their adventure and something exciting to talk about together on the way home.
In addition, your child will develop confidence and interpersonal skills. We are passionate about community, teamwork, communication, and empowering our students to use their words and body language to communicate their needs and wants.
What if my child already trains Capoeira?
This camp is for regular Capoeira students too! We rely on games during camp to appeal to all levels and develop skills wherever your child is in their Capoeira journey. We also get more time to develop those interpersonal social skills that many times do not fully fit into a one-hour class. Students form lasting bonds at camp because there is space and time to give attention to important relationships!
Will food be provided at camp?
WE DO NOT PROVIDE FOOD. Please have your child bring lunch, snacks (we will have 2 snack breaks), and a labeled water bottle. A water bottle refill station is available.
Our Spring Break Camp is committed to your child’s success in school, sports, and in life!
Your child will have the opportunity to participate in an exciting variety of indoor and outdoor activities, educational lessons, arts and crafts, and much more!
