The Youth Olympic Karate Program held its second annual training camp at the USOC training center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The three day training camp covered cutting edge training techniques, athlete nutrition, rules of competition and many other topics.

The Lakewood Dojo had three athletes that attended this historic camp. They were Nicolas Boelk, Caitlyn Rainer, and Kaitlyn Van Manen.

It was a great experience for them to be able to train and actually be on the USOC campus. They were amongst olympic champions and their olympic dream became more of a reality.

Next year, we will have the opportunity to send dojo athletes to the camp again.

Sensei Sweigart is the national referee coordinator for the Youth Olympic Karate Program.
