Federation Camps and Seminars
During camps and seminars all classes are held in the dojo. Group meals are prepared and served at the Kiatsu School, which is next door. The dojo has a large number of foam mattresses that many "out of towners" use to stay at the dojo in sleeping bags. For the less hardy there are several hotels nearby.Generally camps begin on Saturday morning at 9:00 AM. Classes continue throughout the day until about 9:00 PM that night. There are breaks in the schedule for meals which are eaten together as a group. Meals are always included in the camp fees. On Sunday morning there is usually an early morning class and training continues until about 3:00 PM. Again, there are breaks for meals.
The training at camps covers the full range of the Ki Society curriculum. There are generally Ki classes, Aikido classes and a Kiatsu session. There is a general emphasis on understanding the fundamentals of training more deeply.
