Outdoor Recreation / Park Days
Kids will participate in 2 optional outdoor recreation days during the week. Participants will be escorted by coaches and staff on a supervised 7-block guided rope walk to DiMario Park in Kenilworth, NJ for approximately 1 hour of outdoor activities including playground games, relay races, team activities, and free play.
Participation in park trips is completely optional. A separate group of children and coaches will remain inside the academy for indoor activities for any families who prefer their child not attend the outdoor portion.

Expectations & Camp Policies
To help create a safe, organized, and positive experience for every child, all participants and families are expected to follow the policies below:
Drop-Off & Arrival Policy
- Children must be dropped off promptly between 8:30 AM and 9:00 AM.
- To avoid disrupting the structure and flow of the daily program, children may not be dropped off after 9:00 AM.
- Morning activities begin immediately and include warm-ups, team games, and daily instruction.
Pick-Up Policy
- Pick-up time begins at 2:45 PM and ends at 3:00 PM.
- All children must be picked up no later than 3:15 PM, as coaches must prepare for scheduled academy classes immediately afterward.
- Repeated late pick-ups may result in additional fees or removal from the program.
Behavior & Respect
- All children are expected to show respect toward coaches, staff, and fellow peers at all times.
- Bullying, aggressive behavior, unsafe conduct, or repeated disruption will not be tolerated.
- Rolling Bear BJJ maintains a structured and disciplined environment focused on teamwork, accountability, and positive behavior.
Demerit & Discipline System
A daily demerit system will be used to help maintain a safe and respectful atmosphere:
- Children who receive 3 demerits for unacceptable behavior may be removed from camp activities and may risk dismissal for the day or from the summer program.
- Coaches will always attempt positive correction, redirection, and communication before escalating behavior concerns.
- If a student is dismissed from the entirety summer program due to behavior, a partial refund of 50% will be returned to the parents.
A disciplinary system is also in place where children who are not following instructions or behaving appropriately may temporarily lose participation privileges in certain games or activities as part of behavioral correction and accountability.
Our goal is not punishment, but helping children learn:
- Respect
- Listening skills
- Teamwork
- Self-control
- Accountability
- Positive social behavior
We appreciate the support of parents and guardians in helping us maintain a fun, safe, and structured environment for all participants.
