About IJC  ·  Camp Echo, Bloomingburg, New York

Over fifty
summers.

For novices, experienced competitors, youth, and everyone in between, the International Judo Camp has brought judoka together from around the world for over fifty years.

Our story

Gathering judoka from around the world for over 50 years.

IJC is held every summer in the Northeastern United States. Today it calls Camp Echo home: a comfortable drive from the New York City and Philadelphia areas, with a private lake, a swimming pool, and more than 200 acres of fields and wooded trails.

Our directors lead a staff of top international competitors and highly ranked instructors, with one goal: the best training and learning environment for every age and skill level.

From Olympic athletes and national champions to white belts and youth, everybody is welcome on the mat.
