BeginnersEach week Woodward is home to many beginner gymnasts. Our instructors teach skills progressing in difficulty on each event in order to ensure that campers are learning the necessary fundamentals before moving on. When campers are ready to move to the next level, they will do so confidently and successfully.

High SchoolCompetitorsMany high school gymnasts specialize in one or two events. Our philosophy at Woodward is to provide some exposure to all Olympic events during 21/2 hours a day of structured class time. An additional 41/2 hours of open workout time is available every day for specialized training with an instructor.

CompetitiveGymnastsCompetitive gymnasts are challenged within the limits of their individual ability. Emphasis is placed on skill development. Our staff members include college and private club coaches, judges (all levels), and college and Olympic gymnasts, all of whom provide our competitive gymnastics campers with insight into their athletic development.

Campers’ skills are evaluated upon arrival at Woodward, so each gymnast can be placed in a class according to his or her skill level.

Wonder what A TYPICAL DAY at Woodward

is like? Each camper’s schedule will be

individualized according to his or her sport and

recreational interests, but the following will give

you a good idea of what to expect:

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 (9:30 pm). All campers age 9 years and under are required to live in Youth Camp, however older friends may request to stay with them.

I understand that participation in Cheer, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Trampoline, Inline Skating, Skateboarding, BMX Freestyle, Snowboarding, Wakeskating, Wakeboarding, and all other camp activities involves motion, rotation, and height in a unique environment and as such carries with it the risk of injury. The camp is not responsible for personal items that are lost, stolen, or damaged. All medical expenses incurred will be the responsibility of the camper or the camper’s family. In lieu of a medical certificate signed by a medical doctor, I have no knowledge of any physical or mental impairment that would be affected by the named camper’s participation in the camp program, as outlined in the camp brochure, which I have read. I also expressly grant to the Camp and any third party authorized by the camp the right to film, videotape, photograph, record the voice and the irrevocable right in perpetuity to use, display, and digitally enhance or alter in any manner, such likeness in any media now known or hereafter devised, including but not limited to the exhibition and/or online use, broadcast, theatrically or on television, cable or radio, or any motion picture film, video tape, DVD, CD or any published articles in which such likeness may be printed, used or incorporated, and in the advertising, exploiting and publishing of the Camp, camp products, licensed products, and all affiliated relationships.

By the very nature of the activities, Cheer, Tumbling, Gymnastics, Trampoline, Inline Skating, Skateboarding, BMX Freestyle, Snowboarding, Wakeskating, and Wakeboarding

all carry with it the risk of physical injury. No matter how careful the participants and instructors are, no matter how many spotters are used, no matter what height is used, no matter what safety equipment is worn or used, no matter what surface is being ridden or what landing surface exists, risk cannot be eliminated. Risk can be reduced but never eliminated. The risk of injury includes minor injuries such as bruises and more serious injuries such as broken bones, dislocations, and muscle pulls. The risk also includes catastrophic injuries such as permanent paralysis or even death from landings or falls on the back, neck, or head.
