IKD WORLD CAMP 2026!
IKD World Camp 2026 is over!
We met from June 18–21, 2026, at the beautiful Camp Wanakita in the Haliburton Highlands, Ontario for four incredible days of training, connection, and fun. We started our mornings with energizing Tai Chi, trained with world-class instructors, and celebrated our Squid Game champions. We sang, danced, laughed, watched movies and more!
And most importantly, we trained together!
Thank you to everyone that made 2026 and incredible experience. We look forward to seeing you at the next camp. Until next time!
Osu!
