Karate summer camp



If you're looking for a summer camp experience for your kids that will get them moving and maybe even develop a passion for fitness, I can vouch for senseis Mercee and Dovi, who run the program at True North Martial Arts. My second daughter attended summer camp with them two years ago, and enjoyed it so much that she soon became a regular student.

Camp will run from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. weekdays, beginning June 25 and continuing through August. The cost is $150 per week with discounts for multiple weeks, plus registration. (Read more about the camp.)

Sensei Mercee, who owns True North, was an instructor at the former Family Kickboxing Academy on North Fourth Avenue in Highland Park. That school closed in Feburary, but he has brought the same culture of respect, discipline, and fun to his new academy, at 320 Raritan Ave.

Classes are come-when-you-can on Mondays through Thursdays, with kids' sessions beginning at 4:15, 5:15 and 6:15 p.m. Classes for adults start in the evenings. The first lesson is free.
