Literacy & Sword Camp – June, held at Summit Academy Lorain, Ohio
Our Literacy & Sword Camp was hosted and supported by Summit Academy Lorain, combining reading enrichment with martial arts training to build confidence, focus, and creativity in students. Each day began with interactive literacy activities that strengthened reading and comprehension skills, followed by sword practice sessions that emphasized discipline, movement, and energy awareness.
A highlight of the program was a live Zoom session with Grandmaster Kim, Jeong Seong from Busan, Korea, who introduced students to the fundamentals of Jinyoung Ssangkum Ryu Haedong Kumdo.
This unique blend of academics and martial arts not only supported student growth but also created a cultural exchange experience, bringing international training and global connection directly to our local community.
Thanks to the support of donors and partners, programs like this allow us to make sword literacy accessible to all students — including those in underserved and neurodivergent communities — while building confidence, focus, and a love of learning.
