About this trip

Immerse yourself in one of our generation's most magical series, Harry Potter.  Imagine escaping reality for 4 days and 3 nights into a wonderful world of wizardry amongst 16 other students and 2 headmasters.  After being sorted into one of four houses, arrive at our English manor, located 1 hour from Salem, MA and be led to your team's dormitory.  But the magic doesn't end there...you will learn magical submissions, escapes and other trickery from World Class Female Professors.  April Parks and Katie Hooven will be the two head masters leading you on your journey.  Two additional professors will be announced.   


This weekend will include a Harry Potter Themed Party, multiple "team" contests, a scavenger hunt in Salem, MA (along with other fun games), a local haunted house, a ghost walking tour, day in Salem (free-time), a fun photoshoot and of course equal sessions of Gi and No gi,. Basically, this is the Ultimate Halloween, and harry Potter, fan's dream weekend. 


This is a PREMIUM CAMP: Limited to 14 Campers and 4 Professors.  


Closest Airports: 

Boston Logan 

JFK

LaGuardia

*** Please note, many of our campers car pool and discuss rides to and from airport after registration.  This is actually a really easy process. 


"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." ― Harry Potter.

Accommodations

Accommodations are in an English Manor just outside of Salem.  The house is as pictured above.  While at camp, students have full access to the property and all of its amenities.  This house is almost 8,000 square feet.  In other words, there is a lot of space to spread out, find a quiet nook to read, coffee on the patio, etc.  We always encourage our campers to be as social, or anti-social, as they like. 


Sleeping Arrangements:

Campers will share beds, unless they reserve their own bed in the add-on section.  In reserving your own bed, we cannot guarantee the size. 


Bathrooms: 

Campers will share bathrooms.  We just ask that people are respectful and guests do not occupy common/shared bathrooms for prolonged periods of time. 


Food: 

All Breakfast will be provided.  Two dinners will be provided (Friday and Sat. Night) One Lunch will be provided.  We will be eating out for 1 lunch and 1 dinner of which ARE NOT covered in your camp fee.  Additionally, please note: we do tell campers that they can bring as much food as they like to add to what we are making.  Typically, campers bring things to pass and share.  this makes for a really special camp experience where the food is extra yummy and heart-felt. 


Refunds:  DO NOT BOOK UNTIL YOU KNOW YOU CAN ATTEND

At this time We are NOT being flexible on any refunds.  ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE. We have been too flexible for the past few years and can no longer accommodate request.  This is going to sounds harsh, but in the event of a death, cancer, COVID, or otherwise...basically the worst thing you can think of....please don't email us and ask for your money back or to move a credit to future camps.  I am going to refer you back to this paragraph. The ONLY option you have is to find someone to take your place and they can pay you. Thank you for being so understanding.

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.

Thank you so much! This trip exceeded my expectations! I was in awe the entire time :) A great group of strong women coming together for their love of grappling, Harry Potter, and all things spooky! Everything was planned out so perfectly and I honestly keep looking back at pictures and telling all my female grappling friends that they have to book their trips for the next one now! :) THANK YOU INFINITELY FROM MY HEART! :)

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 :)
