| For a full week, an enthusiastic community of Globetrotters will settle into the quaint cabins and fully equipped sports hall of Camp Manitou, fueled by the crisp woodland air of Maine! Each morning we’ll hit the mats as the sun rises over the lake and keep going until the embers of the bonfire settle down for the night. We take care of absolutely everything – food, accommodation, laundry, and Jiu Jitsu. All you need to do is show up, get in your gi or shorts, and get ready for the experience of a lifetime. | | | | Camp Manitou has absolutely everything we need both on and off the mats. The cabins have been freshly renovated and all of them feature modern bathrooms and showers. A full laundry service is included in the cost of the camp, so we’ll collect your training gear from your cabin every morning and drop it back to you later in the day. Training will take place in a large sports hall just a short walk from the cabins, and food will be served three times a day in the camp canteen.
And of course there’s the absolutely stunning nature right on your doorstep. Waterskiing, paddle boarding, kayaking, ball sports of all kinds, swimming, or just hitting the forest trails – if you ever find you need a break from all the Jiu Jitsu training, you’ll never be short of options here. | | |
Basically, there’ll be more training and input than you can possibly handle over the course of the week, so make sure to bring your notepad! All of our camps are renowned for their open and welcoming atmosphere. They’re full of enthusiastic, friendly people from all around the world, who enjoy training in a fun, relaxed, and open-minded environment. So regardless of whether you’re there with a group or travelling solo, you’ll always find someone to slap hands with.
| | | We’ll be running classes (both gi and no-gi) every day from morning to evening, all taught by a variety of highly experienced instructors who bring their own perspective on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. We’ll also schedule frequent open mat sessions at which you can roll, drill technique, or just chat with the instructors and pick their brains. It’s entirely normal to see 20-30 black belts sitting around during open mat, chatting with everyone, answering questions, and swapping ideas and experiences.

We offer a wide variety of hearty, nutritious food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and assorted snacks will be available throughout the day as well.
We offer vegetarian, gluten-free, and dairy-free options, so if you’d like to avail of these (or if you have any food allergies) please add a note when buying your ticket or drop us a line at mail@bjjglobetrotters.com to let us know.
If you need to stock up on anything else, there’s a small convenience store a 5-minute walk from the camp. And within 10-15 mins by car you’ll find a Walmart and plenty of local restaurants and bars. | | | | Regardless of the colour of the belt around your waist, six days of 8+ hours on the mats is tough on the body! In order to keep us as limbre and loose right until the end, we’re bringing back our yoga teacher to run morning yoga sessions every day of the camp. | | | | Ever dreamt of performing in a pro wrestling ring? This is your moment! All camp participants are invited to step up and apply for a match. We have slots for roughly 10-15 matches, each of which will last a few minutes. Whether you’re a face or a heel, a high-flying ace or a chair-swinging brawler, a powerhouse or a technical submission wizard, we want to see your skills, charisma, and showmanship.
And if you’re a bit unsure about your wrestling prowess, don’t worry! We’ve booked experienced professional wrestlers to host a special training session before the show. They’ll teach you some signature moves and all the tricks and techniques you need to ensure that your match is both safe and spectacular. | | | | | |
