About this trip

Grappling Getaways teams up with Amanda Mackey Wellness to bring you our first Wellness, Relaxation and Recovery Camp.  Our camp will be dedicated to the complete rejuvenation of jiu jitsu athletes' minds, bodies and spirits.  Our goal is for you to leave feeling completely renewed and ready to conquer your future with confidence and ease. 


Our accommodations lakeside in Northern Pennsylvania will inspire weary minds and over-trained bodies to seek refuge in nature.  Each camper will have access to various resources throughout the camp to assist with achieving maximal wellness.  This camp is limited to 12 campers to ensure a peaceful, collaborative and personalized experience. 


What to expect: 

Quiet Time/Silent Time: Each morning will have quiet hours dedicated to meditation, goal setting, journaling, manifesting, or just sleeping in!

Yoga: Various sessions and styles will be presented from our very own Amanda Mackey.  Her focus will be on improving flexibility, mobility, breathing (Breath work), healing and energy. 

Massage: Masseuse on staff for the duration of camp.  Extra sessions, lakeside or inside, may be scheduled. 

Reiki Options & Constellations Readings

Hot Tub, Sauna, Fire Pit, Lake Access w/kayaks and canoe. 

Catered Meals & Freshly Brewed Coffee 

Gift Bag encouraging a theme of self-care for the weekend. (***Please note, this gift bag will be of considerable value) 

Team building Activities and Experiences: TBA (Evening Fires, Paint & Sip, Craft)

Jiu Jitsu - 1 - 2 hour session per day 

 

Jiu Jitsu: How will this camp be different from other jiu jitsu camps? 

This camp will be student-centered and led.  Instead of the instructors sharing their seminar content, students will have 3 days to pick the brain of 2 of the top female Jiu Jitsu Competitors in the world from mindset, to competition prep, training advice or otherwise. Each session will field questions from the students, 4 students per session will be able to troubleshoot with the instructors.  For example, perhaps a student asks, "I feel like my guard retention isn't what it should be for a blue belt.  What kinds of things, or drills can I be doing to address my deficit?"   This is such a UNIQUE opportunity for athletes to get individualized instruction for their personal games/style. 


Accommodations, Food, Travel

Accommodations are as shown in the picture. You have access to the entire house and all amenities for the duration of our stay.  We thoroughly encourage campers to take full advantage of enjoying every detail and feature. 


Please note that there are various sleeping arrangement options, ranging from your own room, your own bed, as well as a discount for bringing your own cot/mattress.  You should carefully review the additions when registering and add the arrangement you require.  


If you do not reserve a single bed you should plan to share a bed with another camper.  reserving your own bed does NOT ensure the size of the bed.  You may end up with a twin or a single, or a queen/king....whatever is available.

Was my first time participating at grappling getaways and i absolutely loved everyone’s energy and personalities on the trip from the attendees to the instructors! Would definitely attend more in the future!

Grappling Getaways exceeds my expectations every time. The instructors are immaculate. Even with extensive overseas travel where I attended classes all over the world, I have never been taught by such knowledgeable, respectful, and fun coaches than when I am taught by April Parks, Katie Hooven, and their guest coaches. The instructions and techniques cater to all skill and belt levels. GG camps draw amazing grapplers who love to roll and have active sets. I have also made a few of my forever friends at these camps. The Bahamas was an amazing getaway and our downtime included casinos, swimming with pigs, boat rides, snorkeling, and water parks. I cannot wait for the next camp!

This trip exceeded my expectations! Everyone was wonderful and made sure most everything was taken care of. It was an amazing group of like minded people. The training was great and I learned a lot and all the excursions were fun.

This was by far my favorite Grappling Getaways to date! I always get so much out of the instruction and love making new friends, seeing old friends and traveling to new places! Great accommodations and optional planned activities!

This was my first getaway and it won’t be my last. This trip, these people and this experience was something my soul needed. I made lifelong friends, learned some killer techniques while vacationing in paradise. I got solid life advice for things I’m struggling w in my own business. Seeing such strong, powerful women be so down to earth and welcoming and loving just makes feel so grateful I made the trip….. next trip will be Mexico. See you soon Coaches!!!!

Highly recommend!! I've attended 3 amazing Grappling Getaway camps so far (and plan on attending many more) and each time is unique and awesome! April and Katie are exceptional women who truly love what they do! I appreciate so much the time and effort they take to connect with female struggles both on and off the mats, makes these camps unmatchable. Their attention to every detail, coupled with their incredible ability to just go with the flow, makes being in their presence an authentic jiu jitsu experience. They create such a welcoming, fun, and empowering experience, where friendships are seeded and your jiu jitsu grows! If you're wanting to feel empowered by strong women with great attitudes and open minds, you should DEFINITELY get to a Grappling Getaway ASAP!

April, and the other instructors with Grappling Getaways are THE BEST. Top notch human beings who are amazing at jiu jitsu and amazing at teaching. I’ve been to 3 Grappling Getaways events, and each has been so much fun, so inviting, encouraging, and appropriately challenging for what was advertised. I’ve met so many incredible female leaders and role models through Grappling Getaways. HIGHLY recommended :)
