Capoeira Arts Camp 2026

Mestre Tico Morais with Capoeira Kids 2025

June 8th-12th & 15th-19th, 2026 | Hosted at Capoeira Arts Foundation 1901 San Pablo Ave, Berkeley

Capoeira Arts Camp is a dynamic and joyful opportunity for kids ages 5–11 to explore movement and the Afro-Brazilian martial and cultural art of Capoeira through music, games, and hands-on art projects.

Campers will build coordination, balance, stamina, and musical skills while developing confidence, creativity, knowledge of the body and teamwork—all in a playful, supportive environment. It’s an inspiring blend of culture, physical activity, learning and imagination that keeps kids engaged, active, and having fun every day!
