About the Program
Ok… truth. Last Summer was a bit of a wash out. Sure, your kids got to spend more
time with you and their neighborhood friends, but, there is no getting around it… the
Summer of 2020 was not the summer of their dreams. Never fear! The Makoto
Summer Program can fix that this year. With…
• Exciting adventures to such places as: Mt. Gretna
Lake… Dutch Wonderland… the Spirit of Philadelphia
Cruise… Dutch Springs Water Park… Diggerland… and
much more. Campers enjoy 3-4 field trips EVERY WEEK.
• Cool martial arts training. A Makoto Summer experience
includes daily martial arts classes where campers will learn:
cool ninja moves… how to use double sticks and a sword…
and even earn belts.
• Fun event days including: Carnival Day… the Makoto Olympics… a Battle Royale
and Camping Cookout.
Plus the Makoto Summer Program offers:
• Full-day of fun: hours are 8:00am-5:00pm. Extended Day is from 7:30am-6:00pm.
• Affordability: all field trips, martial arts classes, and pizza parties are included.
• Flexible Scheduling: Select only the weeks you want to attend.
• Education in Samurai Values: such as holding the door for others... putting forth
100% effort… being respectful... much (much) more.
Make the 2021 Summer one to remember. Send your kids to the Makoto Summer
Program and we GUARANTEE they will: (1) make new friends… (2) come home with
stories to tell.. (3) learn new things… and (4)
look forward to coming to camp EVERY Day.
