Review of Woodward Camp

From word of mouth from skate shops and other skaters, I decided I wanted to stay at Woodward for a week over the summer. It was just about the longest week of my entire life. The people at the camp, and its environment, started out welcoming but slowly sank away as the week continued. The campers there, as a whole, were very judgemental and were prone to yell, scream and judge you for whichever activity you attended for. The counsellors, however passionate, had no real desire to support and/or assist you, and were clearly there for their own enjoyment. They didn't care if campers were being harassed, and they were usually high. THIS IS NOT A CAMP TO SEND A CHILD WHO WILL BE ATTENDING ALONE. I went for a second year with friends, and then it was much more enjoyable, but still, the consistent harassing and negative environment was the same. Recommended for skaters who are chill and prefer to learn on their own. Overall, an alright experience, but not worth the grand I had to work for to attend.
