HealthKick
Summer Camp is held in beautiful Lincoln Park. Drop off is the NE
corner of North Avenue and Clark Street in front of the Chicago
History Musuem. We then walk to different areas within Lincoln Park or
along North Avenue beach where we hold class. Children are picked up at
North Avenue and Clark Street also.
During inclement weather, Camp is held indoors at our location at 1327 N. Larrabee.
Looking for a summer camp experience that will:
Build your child’s confidence?
Give your child a sense of accomplishment?
Improve your child’s athletic dexterity?
Teach your child discipline and self-control?
HealthKick Kung Fu Summer Camp for Kids meets Monday thru Friday for 3 hours a day for nine weeks. During that time, your child is introduced to the ancient martial art of Shaolin Kung Fu.
The exercises provide a full body workout that will enhance your child’s health and vigor. They require concentration and focus, which will help your child learn mental discipline. An emphasis is placed on avoiding physical confrontations when necessary, providing your child with the skill to successfully negotiate aggressive behavior.
A goal is set for the children to move up to the next sash level by the end of the eight weeks.
Whether your child is new to the program, or already an enrolled student, they have an end result in sight as they attend the camp. Along with the Kung Fu curriculum, children will periodically go on trips to the park, zoo and lakefront. Other activities are introduced as a means to help them deepen their understanding of the martial art they are studying.
Children must purchase and wear the Summer Camp shorts and T-Shirt. They must wear the appropriate footwear that fits securely on the foot. (No flip-flops!) Food is not provided, so children must also have a bag or box lunch with them. A Sash Promotion will be held at the end of the eight weeks. At that time, family members and loved ones can see what your child has learned and join in celebrating your child’s accomplishments.
