Instruction
Girls- Athletes are placed in groups by age and ability level and have one 2 ½ hour mandatory practice period a day. All Olympic events and trampoline are taught. We are proud to maintain a low teacher-to-student ratio of not more than 1:8. Campers can take advantage of an additional 4 ½ hours of open gym in our fully equipped and staffed facilities.
Boys – Athletes are placed in groups by age and ability level. Our boys program varies slightly from the typical schedule: male gymnasts work out three times a day. A structured class focuses on the basics and improving current skills; Open Workouts concentrate on new skill development; and daily training offers a regimen of strength and flexibility.
Housing
Campers are housed with other kids their same age and sport. They enjoy country living in rustic cabins with bunk beds and individual storage space. Each cabin is equipped with air conditioning and an adjacent bathroom. A counselor lives in each cabin with our campers to make sure that every one of our guest has a rewarding social and learning experience.
Youth Camp
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 the facilities as our general camp. They do, however, live apart from older campers with a “mini mom” (girls) and “mini dad" (boys) and have an earlier bedtime (9:30). All campers age 9 and under are required to live in the Youth Camp, however older friends may request to stay with them.
Facilities
Woodward’s gyms are like none other in the world. All 65,000 square feet have been designed to facilitate the best gymnastics experience. Whether you are a beginner or advanced gymnast our gyms are perfect for you!
