Strong Body Balanced Mind Fearless Heart
The strategic intent of this program is the growth of each student, accessed by expanding our capacity through various activities and overall embracing any uncomfortability life offers us. When we feel most uncomfortable, this is a direct message that we are growing and evolving. We are shedding a previous iteration of ourself who was comfortable in these conditions, and metamorphosing into our present self who has now adjusted to the new circumstances.
We utilize many activities to facilitate this growth:
Walking across fallen trees, free rock climbing in nature, horseback riding, meditation, laser tag, engaging in weapons play with other students of various levels, journaling, archery, zen rock sculpting, camping doing trust fall exercises with one another, canoeing, nature ropes courses and zip-lines, spelunking, zooming across go-kart tracks, exploring the beach and feeling the power of the ocean, hot air ballooning, whitewater rafting, taking powerful hikes deep in the woods, traversing rivers and creeks, and many more.
“Over the past several years, MZW summer camp has offered our family of three an incredible exploration of nature, adventure, introspection, practical and soft life skills. I can’t speak highly enough about it. The basic connection with nature in the Wissahickon is fantastic by itself but including archery, horseback, rock climbing, stream crossings, and meditation is well worth the cost. Day long field trips in years past have included beach day, amusement park, crystal caves, and high ropes among others! The session is jam-packed with unique experiences that is an investment in your personal development, based in kung fu philosophy and practice.”

“The summer program was so awesome, we went to so many different places and did fun stuff like archery and go kart racing! I loved playing weapons with everyone, when we went panning for gemstones, and especially getting ice cream after a long hike! I look forward to doing it again next year!”
– Jeremy Tyszler
“My son Teddy & I attended the MZW Summer Program last year. It definitely rates on my “Top Ten” most enriching experiences. I was encouraged to respectfully push my limits, which I found were much less than what I was actually capable of. I learned I can accomplish just about anything with a courageous mindset and support from my environment. I was so touched by how everyone took care of my son like they would a family member. Teddy shocked me by facing the challenging activities with enthusiasm and confidence, attributes not normally expressed by him. Our experiences were all possible under the expert guidance of Sifu Terryann. I definitely recommend this for the entire family.”
– Lauren Leahy
“I love the summer program because it facilitates me understanding who I am and how I relate to others. And we do it through fun, dynamic activities I don’t typically experience during the rest of my year, like rock climbing in nature, Go-kart racing, horseback riding, cave exploring, and many more!”
