For 2025, we’re returning to Camp Laurel on Echo Lake in Mount Vernon, Maine from 8/17 to 8/23. August is the best time of year here in Maine, and Camp Laurel is known as the nicest summer camp on the East Coast.
Immersion Camp is an all-inclusive* week that offers a full roster of training sessions, shuttle to and from Camp Laurel and Portland Jetport, all meals (including an all-you-can-eat lobster bake), lodging, Gi laundering, and camp activities. The only extra money you’ll need is what you choose to spend on ORIGIN™ & JockoFuel gear.
This experience will forever change your BJJ lifestyle. White belt or Black belt, everyone is welcome to attend - even if you have never trained. Fresh Maine lobster, lakeside training, s'mores over the campfire... There is no other place in the world like the ORIGIN™ Immersion Camp. This is literally like summer camp from when you were a kid. If you’ve been thinking about coming to our yearly Immersion Camp, now is the time to start planning. Registration is limited, and spots sell out fast. *Flights and ground transportation to/from your home location are not included.
