Transport to camp is not included in any ticket. Each camp page lists the nearest airport and how far away it is, and some camps offer a paid airport transfer.
How do I get to a camp?
Transport to camp isn’t included in any ticket, so you book your own travel. Each camp page lists the nearest airport and roughly how far it is. Family Winter Camp in Wagrain is about an hour from Salzburg, USA Camp Maine about an hour from Portland, and Summer Camp is in Heidelberg, near Frankfurt.
Is there a transfer from the airport?
Some camps offer one as a paid add-on. Midsummer Camp in Finland has a round-trip bus transfer from Helsinki airport, for example. Where a camp has a transfer, it’s listed on that camp’s page with its price.
When should I arrive and when do I leave?
That depends entirely on the camp. Arrival and departure days differ from one camp to the next, so check the camp page and its guidebook for the check-in and check-out times.
Do I need a visa?
That depends on your passport and which country the camp is in. Our camps are held across Europe, the Caribbean and the United States, and requirements differ for each. Check with the embassy or consulate for the destination country in good time, because visa appointments can take months.
Do I need travel insurance?
We don’t require it. Camp tickets are non-refundable, so it’s worth considering if there’s a chance you can’t make the trip.
Can I bring my family?
Yes. Our two camps in Austria are the family ones: Family Winter Camp in January and the Austria camp in late summer. Both have Jiu Jitsu classes for kids, family rooms and children’s prices. Family Winter Camp also sells an adult ticket without training, which includes yoga, for a partner who doesn’t train.
Plenty of people bring their family to the city camps as well and split the week between camp and a family holiday. The training is in one place all day, so the rest of the family can do their own thing and meet you afterwards.
What’s the accommodation like?
It depends entirely on the camp. On the camps where accommodation is part of the ticket there are shared cabins, dorm beds in a sports hall, twin and double rooms, private rooms, family rooms and private houses. On many camps you find your own instead, and the camp page says which it is.
What should I pack?
More than one gi, a rash guard, and shorts or spats for no-gi. Beyond that it depends where you’re going, and the camp guidebook linked from each camp page covers the specifics.
