Woodward developed a Youth Camp to assist younger campers aged 7 to 9 in adjusting to camp life. Youth campers have the same schedule, workout opportunities and use of facilities as our general camp. They do, however, live apart from older campers with a “mini mom” (girls) or a “mini dad” (boys) and have an earlier bedtime (9:30pm). All campers age 9 years and under are required to live in the Youth Camp, however older friends may request to stay with them.

Dear Woodward Camp,

I would like to thank you for

running a top notch facility, a

program that sets the standard

by which all other camps will

try and follow. my daugh-

ter had a great experience.

She truly loves the sport of

gymnastics and your camp is

a gymnast’s dream come true,

the sport’s best instructors at a

world class training facility. The

heated pool and canteen don’t

hurt either! I know she will

return home with tons of new

skills, improved confidence and

priceless memories.

— A grateful parent.

Dear Woodward,

I am writing to thank you and

woodward camp for inviting

my children back for week 11.

conrad and courtney returned

home last night and showed

us their congratulations letters

from your Tap program. They

are very happy that they were

offered the opportunity to

return this summer. They had

an amazing week of training,

taking full advantage of the

open gym sessions everyday

and meeting new friends

who share their enthusiasm

for gymnastics. They are

particularly impressed by the

coaches who not only helped

them with skills but also shared

their knowledge about the sport

and physiology. Thank you and

congratulations on another

year of success at woodward.

— Warm regards, Tammy over >>>>

Dear Woodward Staff,

I just wanted to say thanks for

all the hard work you guys put

in. I attended your gymnastics

program last year and I really

enjoyed it. I had a lot of fun and

learned skills that I desperately

needed at the same time. you

guys find a way of mixing

fun and learning together. I

competed my first year of high

school gymnastics and did great

thanks to your coaching and

help. I liked it so much that I will

be attending again this year. I

hope that I get even better. you

all really encouraged me to keep

going and I guess I could never

thank you enough. Thank you

for everything, — Brooke

Dear Woodward Camp,

I’d like to take this

opportunity to tell you how

much my daughter loves your

camp! This was her second year

there, and she’s already looking

forward to next summer. you all

do a wonderful job and provide

a great experience for these

gymnasts. See you next year!

Thanks again, — linda

Dear Woodward,

my first trip to woodward was

at age seven and I have been

back many times since. The one

thing that has never changed is

all the fun I have and how many

great friends I make. oh, and the

ropes course and bungee are THe

BomB! I absolutely love them.

Thanks again for a great time.
