Oh and no, this isn't an April Fool's joke.  That wouldn't be funny to make people come here to find the school closed.

Camp info and registration
For Summer 2026 we are once again holding our very popular camp for ages 5-14. Campers will spend time all together and also separated into age-appropriate groups.
Our summer camp is an excellent way for new students to establish a solid foundation in Taekwon-do fundamentals, and for experienced martial artists to improve their minds and bodies. Emphasis will be placed on Taekwon-do instruction, games, and age-appropriate physical conditioning.
​

Camps are open to Glen Ridge TKD students as well as to those who have never taken Taekwon-do classes.
