Grab your gi, your sense of adventure, and your inner camp counselor because Grappling Getaways is calling.

This Memorial Day weekend (May 22–25), join an all-female crew of jiu jitsu women for a one-of-a-kind Girl Scout–themed camp tucked away on over 70 acres in Upstate New York’s breathtaking Adirondacks.

Think jiu jitsu meets summer camp nostalgia: high-level training, playful games, earned “badges,” and serious sisterhood energy.

Between rolling sessions and top-tier instruction, you’ll hike wooded trails, kayak and swim in the lake, jump off the floating dock, tube, fish, gather around the fire for chats (laughter and lore), and wind down with late-night s’mores vibes. This experience is equal parts training, retreat, and joy.

Examples of Badges you can earn:

• Trail Blazer - complete a hike on the property

• Lake Legend - Swam, kayaked or jumped off the floating dock

• Nature Nomad - Caught spending quiet time outside

• Campfire Classic - Participated in fireside songs, stories, or laughs

• Early Bird or Night Owl - watched sunrise or stayed up late by fire

• Camp Spirit - Dressed up for one of the assigned themes

• Team Cheer Captain - Boosted group morale

• Kindness counts coordinator - Performed thoughtful acts for other scouts

• Present and Grounded - Participated in mindfulness, stretching or breathwork

• Rest is training - took rest when needed or opted to not train if not feeling able

• Technique Explorer - tried new techniques outside of their comfort

• Fire starter - built a fire

• Kindle Cutie - Helped collect sticks and leaves for the fire

.....And Many Many More!

Whether you are a seasoned grappler or just love the mat life, come unplug, connect and level up, because camp is better when its built by women who train hard and laugh harder.

The full itinerary is still being finalized and will be shared with the group as details are confirmed. As of now, you can expect: a scenic train ride with our own rail car, local sight seeing, and a local winery.

This camp is intentionally low-key, allowing us to fully enjoy the beauty and peace of the property and prioritize connection over a packed schedule.

At Grappling Getaways, expect a relaxed, empowering weekend that masterfully blends jiu jitsu, adventure, and classic camp fun. Your days will include optional training, drilling, team games, competitions, Girl Scout-themed challenges where campers will earn "Badges" just for showing up, trying new things, and supporting fellow campers. When you are off the mats, enjoy hiking, swimming, fishing, lounging, reading a book, crafts and games and more. Wind down at night with a nice fire, glass of wine or pop, laughter and stories. This is not about intensity or ego; its about connection, confidence, and community in a welcoming all-female space where you feel part of a team.
