If you’ve been thinking about coming to our yearly Immersion Camp, now is the time to start planning. Registration is limited, and spots sell out fast. For 2024, we’re returning to Camp Laurel on Echo Lake in Mount Vernon, Maine from 8/18 to 8/24. August is the best time of year here in Maine, and Camp Laurel is known as the nicest summer camp on the East Coast.
Immersion Camp is an all-inclusive* week that offers a full roster of training sessions, shuttle to and from Camp Laurel and Portland Jetport, all meals (including an all-you-can-eat lobster bake), lodging, Gi laundering, and camp activities. The only extra money you’ll need is what you choose to spend on ORIGIN™ & JockoFuel gear.
This experience will forever change your BJJ lifestyle. White belt or Black belt, everyone is welcome to attend - even if you have never trained. Fresh Maine lobster, lakeside training, s'mores over the campfire... There is no other place in the world like the ORIGIN™ Immersion Camp. This is literally like summer camp from when you were a kid.
I can't wait to see you all there.
