⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot speak highly enough of the BINNS VICTORY MARTIAL ARTS summer camp my children attended this year. It was an absolute gem, providing an exceptional blend of safety, excitement, care, and academics. Safety was a top priority at this camp, and as a parent, that was my primary concern. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that all safety protocols were followed meticulously, giving me peace of mind throughout the entire summer. The camp was incredibly eventful, offering a wide range of activities that kept my children engaged and excited every day. From outdoor adventures to creative workshops, there was never a dull moment. My children came home every day bubbling with stories of the fun they had and the new friends they made. The caring and attentive staff truly made this camp stand out. They took the time to get to know each child individually, providing personalized attention and support. It was evident that they genuinely cared about the well-being and happiness of every camper. I was also impressed by the academic component of the camp. They managed to seamlessly integrate learning into the summer fun, ensuring that my children continued to engage their mind and grow intellectually even during the break from school. Overall, this summer camp exceeded all expectations and provided an enriching and memorable experience for my children. I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent looking for a safe, eventful, caring, and academically enriching summer camp for their child.

This is not just karate class this is a family. My son has attended classes since the age 4 and he loves it, everyone has always been super friendly, giving back to the community, doing events for the children. They have programs outside of karate as in after school pickups and summer camp. Which is such an amazing program they’ve taken them to great wolf, medieval time, water fun days, arts and crafts. What I love the most is there ability to just to come out with creative ideas for the kids to enjoy. Also I love how the older kids have in a way become mentors to the younger children, it’s just such a positive loving atmosphere!

My 11yr old son has been attending Binns VMA summer camp for 3 yrs now and he LOVES IT! The instructors and camp personnel and very responsible. This is the first place outside of my family that I trust with my son. You are given updates on your childs day at camp along with pictures for that day. Camp trips are awesome and I'm jealous of the places they have gone. Kalahari, Adventureland, Great Wolf Lodge, Medieval times, Pirate adventures, Water days (Pool) or water pads. I could go on and on. If you want a place for your child to attend and feel safe, THIS IS THE PLACE!!! Sifu Raquel, Shihan Troy, Sensei Aaron & Ty ( Hope I have their titles correct) along with the other camp helpers ( also students at the dojo) are Awesome!!!! Your child will make so many friends and have so much fun. You won't be disappointed.

Searching for a Summer Camp for our four year old son became a daunting task as the end of the school year fast approached. Thankfully we found BINNS Victory Martial Arts Summer Camp! This family owned business felt like home away from home. Our son thoroughly enjoyed his summer! He was kept active and engaged with martial arts, exposure to sports fundamentals, arts and crafts and continued academic learning to keep his mind sharp, indoor/outdoor exercise, and overall summer fun! In such a short time he developed self-confidence and learned how to assert himself just in time to enter big boy school the coming Fall. Sifu Racquel and Shihan Troy are proactive, organized, respectful, kind, and communicate extremely well with participants and families; their staff also uphold the values of the organization in their interactions with the children. Expectations are given and in return the participants have a ton of fun! They offer a sense of community and family for our son who eagerly looked forward to camp each morning. I personally love their transparency as they kept my husband and I in the loop about our son’s overall progress and of course the fun pictures and videos of their daily activities helped us in knowing that he was having fun. The TRIPS! Oh the trips! Couldn’t ask for better! Our son was able to visit amusement parks, pools, sprinklers, arcades, a skating rink, and a variety of playgrounds—all while being well supervised. If you ask me I’m not sure most camps are doing that for 4 year olds 😏. We are also excited to have him continue his time here for afterschool which is a huge help especially for working families. Affordable—YES! Fun—YES! Safe—YES! A parent’s dream! Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found BINNS VMA!

My nephew goes to Binns now and he really enjoys it. My son went to Binns years ago when Troy was a student and his father was the teacher. Oh, Troy now runs the school along with his wife. They work very hard to make the place the success that it is now. I will always recommend this Karate School and summer school programs that they run. It works very well in giving you or your kids s very good foundation, and it's been here, in the neighborhood, for lots of years doing good work.
