Summer camp has never been so exciting! For the last two years, Golden Isles Martial Arts Academy has offered fun, active, challenging, creative, and adventurous summer camps. We are doing it again this year, with one major difference. GIMAA’s summer camps have a new home: The Tree House Kids Program at The Brick.
Your child will have a blast learning new things and making memories. There are so many different themes that every child will find something fun. We have a full slate of programs starting the day after school gets out, so check out our offerings and sign up!
Dates and rates are listed below. To register, print out the registration form, fill it out, then bring it to THE BRICK with payment. Or you can pick up a copy of the form at THE BRICK. We are located at 20 Airport Plaza (next to the Fuel Pro), St. Simons Island, GA 31522. Call 912-268-2829 for more information.
