Hosted by Guardian Protection Force in Our Very Own Dojo

Two Age-Specific Sessions:

5:30 PM – 6:15 PM | Ages 5-8

6:30 PM – 7:15 PM | Ages 9-12

Are your kiddos ready to transform into a Mini-Ninja? On Thursday, June 25, join us for a fun, active, and engaging workshop that combines physical skills, safety awareness, and confidence-building in a ninja-themed environment for kids ages 5-12.
This year, we are offering two age-specific sessions so children can participate in a group that better fits their age, energy level, and developmental stage.
Kids ages 5-8 will attend from 5:30 PM – 6:15 PM, and kids ages 9-12 will attend from 6:30 PM – 7:15 PM.
Each 45-minute session will include warm-ups, agility drills, situational awareness games, basic self-defense movement, teamwork, and a fun Ninja Mission Challenge.
Children will learn and move through a structured, encouraging experience built around the “Ninja Code” – Respect, Awareness, and Agility. The event is designed to help kids build confidence, body awareness, coordination, and safety-minded habits while having fun in a positive, family-friendly setting.
