Shaolin Summer Camp

Shaolin Summer Camp The only martial arts sleep-away camp in the US. Authentic Shaolin Martial arts as taught by 34th Ge

The warrior monks of the Shaolin Temple have trained for centuries perfecting their martial techniques and cultivating their minds, bodies, and spirits. Now, for the first time in history, the opportunity to train in these ancient practices just as they have been for 1500 years is available right here in the Catskills. The mission of the USA Shaolin Temple Summer Camp is to empower youth with conf

idence, self-understanding, compassion, and respect for themselves and others through training in the thousand-year old traditions of Shaolin martial arts or philosophy. Besides training in the core disciplines of Shaolin (Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong), activities such as Chinese Chess, Chinese language classes, calligraphy, nature hikes, and other sports and outdoor excursions will complement each individual’s experience at the Shaolin Summer Camp. The curriculum for each camper will vary depending on the number of sessions they attend. In addition to learning kung fu basics and forms, qi gong, and tai chi, the campers will also have opportunities to study Chinese language and calligraphy, engage in sports like basketball and soccer, and take hikes on the various temple nature trails.

Shifu’s calligraphy for Gratitude & Appreciation. No matter what you believe or what day it is, we should be thankful for everyday we wake up to a new day. Buddha is all around us. If you drop your wallet on the street, and someone picks it up & returns it to you- that is Buddha. There is Buddha in all of us, because we are all meant to help one another. Always ask yourself, did I do good today? Did I help someone today? If not, why not and how can I do better? Amituofo. -Shifu Shi Yan Ming

It’s always fun to take a group shot at the end of summer camp but this is the image that truly captures the true spirit of Summer Warrior Camp...this is the sacred ground, the field on which all our Summer Warriors battled against their greatest opponent, fighting against their very selves. It’s easy to walk off, quit, to stop the grueling process of training in Shaolin. But they didn’t. This is why we invoke the name of a Buddha before we practice our gongfu. This is the ground made sacred by the sweat and effort of conquering The Self, of striving every day to get stronger and stronger and to know you can push your Self and master your Self. Amitabha to the Buddha hearts awakened and invigorated, to the gong fu, to the hard as nails effort every Summer Warrior put into these past two weeks. The Saga continues...the sacred ground is everywhere now...everywhere is your Temple. REPRESENT!

The greatest weapon you have is your mind. Every day Summer Warriors wake up and challenge themselves. Pushing their understanding. We wrestle with a famous Ch’an story or gongan. Shaolin Ch’an Buddhism or Martial Arts, it’s not just the physical, many people get confused about martial arts. You have to develop yourself, not just the physical but the mental, the spiritual- Shifu says to combine all these things and you will achieve harmony. You have to be able to help yourself, respect yourself, then you can help others, help the world...
