Why Woodward
Originally founded in 1970 as a gymnastics camp in the picturesque mountains of central Pennsylvania, Camp Woodward has since become synonymous with action sports innovation and progression. By focusing on the all-around development of our campers, we see them grow far beyond what they can accomplish in the park or pit. Simply put, campers come into their own at Woodward.
This is where it all began 50 years ago. The OG Woodward location is legendary for its massive skateparks, BMX tracks, and facilities that cater to every discipline. Here, campers can explore sprawling parks, foam pits, and world-class features in a serene, natural environment.
Our Facilities
From our Progression Centres, foam pits, trampolines and resi ramps to dedicated skate, bike, parkour and scooter parks, our environments are designed for progression and peak fun no matter your discipline. Need proof? 38 Olympians (and two national teams) in BMX Freestyle, Street and Park Skate trained at our facilities for the 2024 Paris Games.
Our Programming
Our programs reflect a legacy of innovation and exploration. After 50 years of fostering the development of all-around awesome humans, we’ve evolved our programming to be the best it can be. We teach campers how to set and work towards goals. Our programs are designed to make progression easy and fun.
Our People
At Woodward, campers build invaluable relationships with their peers and coaches alike. A sense of belonging emerges through camp, culminating in a newfound community for campers who might not find the same cultural acceptance at home. Thanks to our Coaches Academy and partnerships with organizations like STOKED, our staff is dedicated to building campers’ skills, confidence, and character.

The Best Camp
“For the past few years, my son and I have heard nothing but good stories from Woodward. He had a couple friends that attended in years prior and we were told it is the best camp you could possibly go to. We did not consider other camps. Woodward was all it was for us!”
Audrey H.
Encouraging Environment
“My kids are beginners and they were never looked down on for it by instructors or other kids. I have done a lot of work with kids, the encouraging environment at Woodward is like no other.”
Ryan S.
A Ton of Independence
“I like that campers have a ton of independence, but that there is also some structure to their days. The ability to work with coaches one on one is huge and the chance to see pros skate is amazing.” – Ryan S.
