Hello NKB Academy Family. Our 🌸Spring Holiday camp🌸 is fast approaching, and we would love to see our NKBA students there to practice and refine their skills taught during the term training.

Morning Session: 10am – 12:30pm
Afternoon Session: 2.30pm – 5pm

📣 FULL Day (Morning + Afternoon session): $65

If you attend a full day, you will be required to provide your own lunch. Please note there is a break between the 2 sessions (12.30pm – 2.30pm). In this time children (under 18 yrs) are not permitted outside of the arena, unless an arrangement or permission is given by a parent/guardian (please notify NKBA). At least one coach will be present in the arena for enrolled full day students. We encourage students to prepare their lunches as coaches are not responsible to buy lunches for students. Any alternate arrangements will be a private agreement between parent and coach, and any incidents will NOT be the responsibility of NKBA.

If you attend a half day, we kindly ask that you arrive closer to your session time, and leave soon after your session time. Please do not leave your child unattended in the arena for a prolonged time. NKBA will NOT be responsible for kids before and after sessions.
