When teachers take a PA Day, you still must go to work. Where can you send your kids to get an enriching experience that is in a safe environment? 5 Rings is the solution. We have PA Day camps that can keep your children busy when school is out. We offer active outdoor play, skill development, safety supervision, and much more.
PA Day camps refer to personal activity programs that are non-academic related. Most of the time, children are exposed to seminars and events that help them become more well-rounded individuals. They get the chance to discover new things. Sometimes, the term personal development or PD Day camp is also used.
For those who want to try out learning Taekwondo for the day, we’re inviting you to join our PD Day camps and programs for children. Here at 5 Rings Taekwondo, our PD Day activities are like no other. We teach kids basic movements and principles of the sport so that they can experience what it’s like being one of our trainees.
PD Day camps in Kitchener and Waterloo often include arts, and crafts, outdoor activities, and other basic enrichment activities. Our professional development day camps are anything but ordinary.
As the leading taekwondo school “near you,” we want to expose your children to new skills and talents that they can pursue. This sport isn’t just about fighting. Taekwondo is a special type of martial art that promotes respect, discipline, mental strength, and physical fitness. We teach students the importance of protecting themselves and others.
Our practical techniques help them be ready for potentially dangerous situations. Through our demo programs, students also get exposed to the creative side of taekwondo. Here, trainees are taught to memorize and perform a set of moves in a flowing manner, almost like a dance. All of these are compressed into a day’s worth of activities for your children to try out.
If they seem to have found a new passion by the end of the day, then 5 Rings Taekwondo will look forward to seeing them soon in our practice rooms in Waterloo as official students.

What should your child wear to our PD Day Camps? It’s a single day event, but they’ll be doing a lot of running around. In general, we suggest that they wear clothing that’s comfortable to move and play in. Bringing a change of clothes is always a good idea too, as we can get sweaty and sometimes spills happen at lunch or at snack. If you have more concerns about what your child should wear, reach out to our staff directly by calling (519) 954-5925.
Waterloo Region’s school calendar changes every year for both the Public and the Catholic school systems.
For the Public school system, the yearly calendar is typically released in June before September starts. It also differs for elementary and secondary school kids, which can make it a challenge for families to plan for their children if they have at least one child in each. Although the calendars differ, sometimes the PD Days do overlap. Usually, there are roughly 7 PD Days in each of the calendars. This is beyond the usual school and statutory holidays such as Labour Day, Thanksgiving, Good Friday, etc.
In the Catholic school system, there are usually fewer PD Days, although they’re called PA days. Sometimes the PD Days for the Catholic and public system line up.
There also may be new PA Days coming to the daycare centers in Waterloo Region. Providing these professional development days to staff is an initiative from the federal government. It’s meant to help keep day care staff’s skills current. However, it may also be a challenge for parents to begin to plan care for their daycare-aged children these days.
We take the health and safety of everyone at our dojo seriously, including for our PD Day camps. Our facility is cleaned and sanitized daily to remove all sorts of germs, not just COVID-19. We offer hand sanitizer for everyone so that students, staff, and guests can always feel comfortable in our facility. Currently, wearing a mask is optional.
Policies surrounding COVID-19 are always subject to change, however, so be sure to ask us your questions before you arrive.
