Our Kung Fu Summer Camps are a great combination of martial arts training based on a cool camp theme and movement games, art projects, park exploration, free play time, and storytelling. We break into small training groups based on the age and level of experience. The four-animal style of Pukulan kung fu captures the imagination of students while they learn to move like the monkey, crane, tiger and snake. Obstacle courses, striking to pads, movement games, and balance challenges make for a high energy camp day. We also take time to practice the calm internal parts of training martial arts through awareness games, meditation and reflective art projects.

Backpack – Please provide your child with a backpack that zips or cinches closed to carry all personal items.
Proper Clothes – Kids will be outside for the whole day training in and playing in the park. Think layers! Closed toe shoes, camp t-shirts with a jacket over the top, sun hat or ball cap, shorts or sweatpants that allow for big movement and are okay to get dirty.
Camp T-shirt – Kids wear their Kung Fu Summer Camp t-shirt every day of camp. Each camper receives a camp t-shirt on the first day.
Sack lunch – Please pack a HUGE lunch with lots of snacks. Kids will be working up a big appetite, so more is better. Kids do not share food due to safety around food allergies.
Water bottle – No glass containers.
Sunscreen – Please apply sunscreen before arriving to camp. This will help with a smooth drop off transition. Please write your child’s name on their personal sunscreen. We will also provide sunscreen for kids as a backup.

Kung Fu Summer Camps will be held entirely outdoors at Woodstock Park. We will be training and playing outdoors the whole day including on rainy or sunny days. In the case of extreme weather conditions or unsafe air quality, camp will take place at our school at 4231 SE Hawthorne Blvd. We will text you by 7am the day of the change to confirm.
Behavior Policy
We intend for every child to have a safe and fun camp experience. If a child is having challenges following the camp rules, is being consistently unsafe or disruptive, and not responding to instructor's redirection or guidance, we will call home for pick up. When a student is sent home due to behavior challenges, they are not eligible to return to camp. There is not a camp refund when a child is asked to leave camp.
Allergies/Medical
If you child has medical concerns or medications to be taken during camp we require parents to provide a written and signed explanation of care procedures along with contacting OWH staff before the first day of camp.
If your child has allergies that require an Epi-Pen we ask parents to provide written instructions and signed permission slip given to instructors to administer this medicine. Please label container or plastic bag for the medicine, with the name of your child, first parent contact name and phone number. Please contact OWH staff in advance of camp with this information.
Air Quality Policy
Due to the outdoor nature of this camp, we will make the best decisions for our campers and staff in the event of poor air quality. If the air quality index (AQI) for the camp location is forecasted to be listed as UNHEALTHY (AQI = 151 or higher) throughout the camp day according to purpleair.com and airnow.gov, the camp day will be held indoors at our school at 4231 SE Hawthorne Blvd. Our program reserves the right to make decisions in real-time as conditions change.
Extreme Heat Policy
If temperatures exceed 90 degrees, activities are modified, and moved into shady areas. Students are reminded consistently to drink extra water and electrolyte-replacement drinks. If temperatures are predicted to hit or exceed 100 degrees by noon (12:00pm) then camp will take place at our school for that day. Our program reserves the right to make decisions in real-time as conditions change.
Lightning Policy
Thunder and lightning are rare during the summer months. In the event of a lightning storm, groups are asked to calmly walk or run with instructors to a covered structure if it is safe to do so. If the storm is overhead and travel to a covered structure is unsafe, staff and participants will shelter underneath the canopy of a medium-sized tree, having them squat down with only their feet touching the ground. As soon as they are able, the group continues toward the covered structure for cover until the storm passes.
