Woodward Camps - the leading youth camp facilities for action sports, gymnastics and cheer – have expanded the curriculum for Summer 2013 to include cutting-edge programs in digital media, including video production, photography, graphic arts and music recording. Woodward has always recognized and supported the connection between visual arts and action sports. Training the next generation of filmmakers and photographers in these storytelling mediums will allow them to communicate in an increasingly digitally-focused society. Summer camp begins in June, 2013 for all locations, including Woodward, Pennsylvania, Colorado’s Copper Mountain, Boreal Mountain Resort at Lake Tahoe, and Tehachapi, California. “The Woodward Digital Media program was started in 2008 as a way for students to capture the exciting world around them - documenting their experiences in a content-rich environment called Camp Woodward." says Gary Ream, Executive Director of Camp Woodward. "As technology and digital media started
to rapidly advance, we needed to take the program a step further and provide the opportunity for kids to make the vital connection between sport, music and visual arts."
Woodward will also bring back the Woodward Scholarship Fund in 2013, awarding full and partial scholarships to deserving individuals. The fund was made possible to digital media campers and aspiring athletes by pro athletes, sponsors, individuals and alumni who want to give back to their sports and make the “Woodward Dream” possible for less fortunate children.
