    WARWICK N.Y. — Do you want to wait until you hear “Mom I’m bored.”

    The United Martial Arts Centers in Warwick, N.Y., wants your child to have fun in a safe clean facility and develop, confidence, self discipline, and self control this summer. And that includes a physical activity that focuses on personal goals not just scoring them?

    United Martial Arts Centers is hosting its 15th year of summer camp for our students and the community.

    “We are passionate about helping our students reach their full potential. There is no other activity that I know of that focuses on integrity, perseverance, self control, humility and indomitable spirit like martial arts training," said Grand Master Edmund Ciarfella, owner of the center. "What parent wouldn’t want their child to develop their personal leadership? This is an incredible opportunity to experience the benefits of martial arts training.”

    All campers will take part in motivational Martial Arts classes, foam weapons training, physical fitness classes, arts and crafts, games, outdoor activities, swimming and weekly field trips to Mountain Creek Water Park and Wawayanda State Park. There will be special theme weeks, such as Leadership Week, Jedi Sword Training Week using foam swords, and much more.
