Woodward Beijing is the first international property in the U.S.-based Camp Woodward roster. For over forty years, the original Woodward Pennsylvania location has been one of the premiere training facilities for both young amateurs and professional action sports and gymnastics athletes, including many Olympians. In recent years the company has built additional camps in California and Colorado, and expanded to include surfing, snowboarding and skiing and audio/visual and music education programs in Beijing, California and Pennsylvania. Woodward Beijing will also offer English and Chinese language classes.

"Woodward Beijing provides an opportunity to inspire many young chinese to discover the passion of lifestyle sports by bringing world-class athletes and facilities directly to them" says Gary Ream, Managing Owner and President of Camp Woodward. "We are excited to be a part of helping grow action sports in China and also give children the opportunity to exercise their creativity through art forms such as music, videography, graphic arts and photography.

Highlights of Woodward Beijing include:

A 32,000 square foot outdoor skate plaza designed and built by California Skateparks
with oversight and consultation from Woodward Brand Manager and pro skater Neal
Hendrix. The entire skate plaza will offer something for everyone from beginners at the
camp to visiting pros. Filled with skateable ledges, rails, hubbas, euro gaps, bank-to-
bank kickers, granite manual pads, steep banks and more, the park is one of the best

    15th is an invite only day, primarily for Media and Gov't officials (you know how it works) and then the
    16th is open to public. So, if you are feeling edgy and want to hit the facility, 16th is your day. Come on down. You may luck out and get to ride with some of the pros-

    So after the 15th may is the park open to public everyday.
