"They've helped him build strength, but more importantly, they've helped build his confidence."
What your athlete does at camp
Every session is built on the four movement patterns every Mighty Oak athlete trains: squat, hinge, press, pull. Barbell, kettlebell, and bodyweight — no machines, no gimmicks. Beginners learn the movements from the ground up. Returning athletes pick up where they left off and keep progressing through the nine-level system.
One hour a day, five days in a row, is a real training block. Most kids leave Thanksgiving week slower and softer than they entered it. Yours won't.
Who it's for
Athletes ages 6–18 with a week off and nothing scheduled
Kids who've never lifted and want to try it before committing to a membership
Current MOA members who want to keep their streak alive over break
Families in Westmont, Hinsdale, Clarendon Hills, Downers Grove, Darien, Burr Ridge, Oak Brook, Willowbrook, Lisle, Woodridge, La Grange, and Naperville
How it works
1. Purchase the camp above.
2. Book one session per day on the training calendar — any open slot Monday through Saturday except Thursday.
3. Show up in athletic clothes. We handle the rest, including the shirt.
If your athlete has never trained here, this is the easiest way to start. Camp is $50; a month of membership is $199. Try the week, then decide.
Frequently asked questions
Is strength training safe for a 6-year-old?
Yes, when it's coached. The NSCA and the American Academy of Pediatrics both endorse supervised resistance training for children. Six-year-olds at MOA train with bodyweight, light kettlebells, and technique-first coaching — never maximal loads. Our youth strength training safety page has the research.
Does my athlete have to come all five days?
No. Buy the week and book as many of the five as you can make. Most families do four or five.
Do you train the day after Thanksgiving?
Yes. We're open Friday 3:30–6:30 pm and Saturday 9:30 am–12:30 pm. Closed Thursday only.
What if we're already members?
Members train as usual over break at no extra charge. Camp is for families who aren't members yet.
