The highlight of the year is the ANNUAL
JUNIOR CAMP, where the Juniors participate in a
Day Camp in a bushland environment. Here they
learn to respect and understand nature, while
at the same time they start to realise that the Dojo is more than just training area within
the confines of the four walls. Training with
the surroundings constitutes an important
aspect of Ninjukai training. While the adults
have the Annual Bush Camp to go to, the Juniors
in turn have their Annual Camp.
Over the years many venues have been
selected to conduct these camps - including
Garvey Park, Camp Simon, John Forrest National
Park and Kings Park. These locations are
carefully selected for their natural bush
settings in order to allow the Juniors to
better experience the blending of techniques
with the surroundings. One can be taught
techniques in the mat area in a dojo - but one
can never experience the full spontaneity of
the techniques unless one can experience their
execution in a more random setting like the
bushland. |
