During Wing Luke Museum’s in-person Summer Camps museum galleries and classrooms transform for campers to connect with history and have fun while playing in the Chinatown-International District (C-ID).
What will your camper find in the galleries and rooms within Wing Luke Museum? Delicious recipes? An encounter with a dragon? Inspiration for creativity and art projects?
Campers learn about the C-ID as they stretch themselves creatively with art projects and play. Histories, traditions, and cultures collide in our Summer Camps as we explore the neighborhood and Wing Luke Museum in unexpected and engaging ways.

Join us for an action-packed week at Camp Bruce Lee. Created in partnership with the Bruce Lee Foundation, campers will learn from the teachings and life of Bruce Lee through daily martial arts lessons, visits to the Bruce Lee Exhibit and Chinatown-International District, as well as through arts and crafts, games, and more!
Campers will be immersed within Bruce Lee’s philosophies and learn how we all can take away insightful life lessons from this great role model. The camp will explore his messages on gaining confidence and tapping into the unlimited potential found within all of us. At the end of the week, family and friends are invited to join us in a presentation where we’ll share all that we learned throughout the week and will culminate in an exciting board-breaking ceremony.
Camp Bruce Lee changes lives – providing participants with a renewed sense of confidence, physical and mental stimulation and exercise, self-awareness, fun, and lifelong friendships! No previous martial arts experience is necessary—only the willingness and openness to learn!

ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR
MJ Steele is a 3rd degree black belt under Kim Hong Yee, and has taken lessons from 3 of Bruce Lee's students: Taky/ Andy Kimura, Richard Bustillo, and Dan Inosanto.
He is currently the Kids and UW class instructor for the Seattle Kung Fu club and recently won Grand Champion in the 18 and up Advanced Forms Division at the 41st Can-Am Martial Arts tournament.
“I’ve been enamored with the Martial Arts for as long as I can remember. I grew up in the age of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Power Rangers, and Mortal Kombat. One of my favorite childhood memories is catching the Dragon the Bruce Lee story and Mortal Kombat double feature at my local drive-in theater. I would copy the moves I saw on screen, spending hours in the yard or outdoor parks dressing like a ninja and using trees as sparring partners.”
I am so proud to be involved with the Wing Luke Museum and the Bruce Lee Foundation in helping to preserve these stories, experiences, and philosophies. I think back to how Bruce Lee’s image, his movies, and his writings were accessible to me from an early age and how much they influenced and ultimately improved my life. I want to show my gratitude to all the people who helped make my experience possible and I am so grateful that I can carry, and eventually pass on, the torch to the next generation to do the same. Thank you!”

The Chinatown International District is a residential neighborhood that also features many culinary gems. Want to know how to make bread like they do at Hood Famous Bakeshop? Or dumplings like at Szechuan Noodle Bowl? In this week of Summer Camp at the Wing Luke Museum, we will be meeting with chefs from neighborhood restaurants who will teach us how to make some of the dishes that can be found in their menus. Learn how to cook these tasty eats, do some food-related visual art, and at the end of the week, take home a cookbook with all the recipes we tried.

In years past, Art week at Summer Camp has focused on creating visual art. In 2026, we’re expanding the definition of art to include performing arts too! Each day of this week, we will focus the spotlight on a different performing art form: music, cultural dances, drill team cadences, and drama. In addition to creating visual art, we will play with different types of movement and performance and meet with teaching artists who are experts in playing taiko, doing cultural dances, marching in drill teams, and acting on the stage. On the last day of camp, we will have a talent show to show off our skills.
