Luxury Accommodations Within walking distance of major landmarks and events

A carefully curated camp experience, inclusive of decor, restaurant choices and excursions all masterfully planned for you.

Once registered, you will receive an email welcoming you to our group. Suggested flights would arrive at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY) We will give you suggested times of arrival to carpool together to camp. However, you are responsible for getting to and from Camp. While at camp, we orchestrate transportation as a group.

We choose only the most amazing locations to stay, and we know you will adore our choice this year. Campers occupy shared spaces together for the entire weekend. Unless you have reserved your own room or own bed, you should plan to share a room, and in most instances a bed with another camper. Roommate requests are available at checkout, and you can always message us to make a request. Many of our campers make friends with each other while in our group chat prior, and end up have a person they click with!

Please know, our houses are very large and there is always quiet space and time for you if you so choose. We accommodate the most introvert among us to your radical extrovert. This is your vacation, so we strongly encourage you to participate in as much or as little as you like.

Due to many last minute cancellations, we adhere to a strict policy as outlined below. We STRONGLY suggest not booking until you know for a fact you can attend, have a babysitter, time off work, etc. In the event that you try to cancel your trip, you can attempt to transfer the trip or sell the trip to another person up until Oct. 1st

I had a great time connecting with new people, learning/doing jiu jitsu, and having fun! It was a great opportunity to grow in leadership and community. I wish there had been more time and ability to do all the workshops

Another amazing Grappling Getaways trip!!! April and Katie brought in absolutely incredible female instructors and organized fantastic breakout sessions. What they're doing for the female BJJ community can't be matched. I recently got promoted and was feeling a lot of self doubt and this trip and the connections i made with other women helped get me out of that funk and get refocused. This was my 2nd GG trip and I can't wait for the next!

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 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 :)
