All campers will share a room, and some instances a bed.  Please be sure to list a friend you would like to be roomed or bunked with when registering.  


Please know, a majority of the time you have your own bed, but read below to ensure this in the event this is a necessity for you.

My first grappling getaway, I felt like I was at a weekend away with my best girlfriends! The attention to detail that April & Katie put into this event was just astounding! Fun activities, planned outings, and stellar jui jitsu instruction, all set in an absolutely perfectly chosen getaway house, we had everything we needed and plenty of space to spread out. I can’t speak more highly of this entire experience- these ladies put on a top notch weekend I can’t wait to come back again!!!! LOVED THIS ADVENTURE ❤️❤️

This was my third trip with Grappling Getaways and they never fail to impress me. It was awesome to get together with like minded women to train, play, laugh and bond with. April and Katie provide excellent training as well as bringing in additional high end BBJ trainers. They are super creative with their themed getaways and attentive to people's needs. Grappling Getaways are never the same thing twice but always a fantastic vacation.

This grappling getaway was a magical blend of top-notch Jiu Jitsu instruction and Harry Potter-themed activities. April and Katie were fantastic hosts, making everyone feel welcome with excellent teaching, training, and fun team-building activities like a scavenger hunt in Salem. The event fostered a supportive community of women in Jiu Jitsu from various backgrounds, and I made lasting friendships. I can't wait for future events! Highly recommended for a fun and memorable experience!

This was my first getaway and it won’t be my last. This trip, these people and this experience was something my soul needed. I made lifelong friends, learned some killer techniques while vacationing in paradise. I got solid life advice for things I’m struggling w in my own business. Seeing such strong, powerful women be so down to earth and welcoming and loving just makes feel so grateful I made the trip….. next trip will be Mexico. See you soon Coaches!!!!

Highly recommend!! I've attended 3 amazing Grappling Getaway camps so far (and plan on attending many more) and each time is unique and awesome! April and Katie are exceptional women who truly love what they do! I appreciate so much the time and effort they take to connect with female struggles both on and off the mats, makes these camps unmatchable. Their attention to every detail, coupled with their incredible ability to just go with the flow, makes being in their presence an authentic jiu jitsu experience. They create such a welcoming, fun, and empowering experience, where friendships are seeded and your jiu jitsu grows! If you're wanting to feel empowered by strong women with great attitudes and open minds, you should DEFINITELY get to a Grappling Getaway ASAP!

April, and the other instructors with Grappling Getaways are THE BEST. Top notch human beings who are amazing at jiu jitsu and amazing at teaching. I’ve been to 3 Grappling Getaways events, and each has been so much fun, so inviting, encouraging, and appropriately challenging for what was advertised. I’ve met so many incredible female leaders and role models through Grappling Getaways. HIGHLY recommended :)
