Let’s talk about my oldest, Roland. He’s not a quitter—he’s just a discerning connoisseur of extracurricular activities. Most things get a “meh” or a “yeah, it was fine,” which in our house means “I’ll go, but don’t expect fireworks.” But Dexterity Depot? He LOVED it. Like, woke-up-early-without-being-asked kind of love. The classes actually challenged him, engaged him, and sparked a genuine excitement that’s pretty rare around here.
It inspired us to put a ninja line in our backyard—true story. Second-best investment we’ve made. The first? The homeschool class tuition that got him hooked.
So What Is Dexterity Depot?
Located in Camp Hill, Dexterity Depot is Central PA’s elite parkour, ninja warrior, and World Chase Tag training facility. Translation: it’s the place where kids (and grownups) climb, leap, roll, flip, tag, and fly through the air like action movie stars—without destroying your couch cushions in the process.
No gimmicks, no playground fluff—just seriously cool obstacle courses, expert instruction, and the kind of fitness training that’s so fun, kids don’t even realize it is training.
And the best part? It’s a family-run business that gives back to the community and supports local athletes. When you support Dexterity Depot, you’re not just signing up for a class—you’re joining a mission to help kids build strength, confidence, and grit.
🥷 Classes for Kids Who Were Born to Move
Ninja Warrior Classes
If your child has ever watched American Ninja Warrior with wide eyes and a “I could do that,” this is where they get their shot. Whether they’re brand new or already swinging from the rafters at home, Ninja classes at Dexterity Depot teach obstacle efficiency, agility, and strength.
Students learn how to master each obstacle—from warped walls to swinging ropes—with expert coaching and conditioning that builds both skills and stamina. These classes aren’t just “run around and hope for the best”—they’re structured, leveled, and progressive. And yes, they’re still wildly fun.
Parkour Classes
Parkour classes teach kids (and adults!) how to move through the world like a human Swiss Army knife. Think balance, coordination, body awareness, and some serious self-confidence. Beginners learn foundational skills like vaulting, landing, and flowing from movement to movement.
Advanced students dive into higher-level techniques and combos that will have you blinking like, “Wait... how did they DO that?” Bonus: it’s one of the best ways to burn energy, stay fit, and channel all that “creative movement” into something safe and skill-based.
World Chase Tag
Tag, but make it elite. Dexterity Depot is one of only four places in the U.S. with an official World Chase Tag quad. This is a high-intensity, strategy-heavy sport that challenges speed, strength, and reaction time. It’s like chess… if chess had monkey bars and time limits. Anyone can try it—and their official team even competed in the World Championships!
☀️ Summer Camps: The Cure for “I’m Bored!”
If you’re dreading another summer of screen time battles and sticky popsicle hands, Dexterity Depot Summer Camps are your golden ticket. Each weeklong session is divided by age group and packed with obstacle courses, movement games, skill-building, and full-body fun.
But this isn’t just chaos with foam pits—it’s thoughtful instruction from coaches who get kids. They create a welcoming, high-energy space that builds confidence while giving kids the freedom to challenge themselves and try new things.
Parents rave. Kids return. And best of all? They come home TIRED. (Cue angel chorus.)
