Destined For Greatness Summer Camp
Summer Camp 2026 runs from June 22 – August 28, 2026!
Looking for a summer camp in Irvington, NJ that keeps your child active, engaged, and growing all summer long? Destined For Greatness Martial Arts offers a summer camp experience for families in Irvington, Newark, and Essex County that combines Martial arts, arts & crafts, swimming, safe field trips, arcade, high-energy exercise, music, fun, structure, creativity, and personal development in one safe, supervised, trusted environment.
Destined For Greatness Summer Camp is for children 6 – 13 years old. Camp meets from 7:45am-5:45pm Monday – Friday each summer. Our campers practice leadership skills – taking turns as the elected leaders of their camp groups. Each week, campers have the opportunity to earn points for everything from singing contests, to crazy laugh competitions, push up battles and basketball games. The group that earns the most points wins the Treat of the Week.
Monday – Thursday, our days begin with our first step, indoor exercise program, preparing the children for our Karate Fridays! Throughout the week, we engage in swimming, air hockey, video games, karate classes, high-energy exercise, field trips and more. We teach organization skills and practice getting focused on cue. Each Friday, the children vote for the next week’s team leader.
Campers receive breakfast, lunch and a healthy snack each day through the CACFP program.
Please note: For the safety of the children, all Destined For Greatness staff will chaperone each Field Trip, meaning that the center itself will be closed on Field Trip days. Any child who does not attend a Field Trip will need alternate care that day, as we will not be on site.
