It’s natural for kids—and parents!—to feel a little nervous before heading off to summer camp. Will they make friends? Will they feel safe? Will they have fun? At BAEPLEX in Williamsburg, Virginia, we hear these questions all the time. And every summer, we see the same transformation: kids walk in feeling uncertain, and by the end of camp, they walk out braver, bolder, and bursting with confidence.
So, what’s the secret?
At BAEPLEX Summer Camp, we’ve designed every activity to support kids ages 5–12 in growing stronger—physically, emotionally, and socially. Our program combines creative games, team challenges, and leadership with a positive martial arts culture. Whether it’s trying a new skill, speaking up in front of the group, or helping a teammate succeed, every child gets opportunities to step outside their comfort zone in a safe and supportive environment.
Confidence doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from trying, learning, and realizing they’re capable of more than they thought. We celebrate effort, not just results, and that empowers campers to take positive risks without fear of failure.
Our staff is trained not just in instruction, but in connection. They know how to spot nervous kids, help them find their footing, and cheer them on every step of the way. Many of our campers start the week clinging to their parent’s leg—and finish the week leading a group activity with a big smile on their face!
Parents tell us they see real changes at home, too. Kids are more willing to try new things, speak up in class, and take on responsibility with pride. And because they’ve built these skills through fun and friendship, they carry them into the school year with confidence.
BAEPLEX Summer Camp in Williamsburg is not just camp—it’s a confidence-building adventure that lasts far beyond the summer.
