Snowboarder Andy Finch stopped by Woodward Camp to hang out for a week. He tried the new snowboard box and bounced a lot of trampoline.
He has also written a post about his visit including more photos and video (Andy at Woodward). We have some pictures from his visit. Enjoy.
It is official, the popular summer camp is opening a new camp in China. Woodward Camp is designing a new facility near the capital city of China, Beijing. The building costs are estimated to be $4 million dollars[1]. The camp will reportedly host all of the same activities it does at its US camps, with the exception of snowboarding and skiing.
Not all of the details seem to be finalized, but with the growing population of the Asian market, Woodward Camp in China will likely be successful.
Woodward Camp East is surrounded by farms for miles in each direction. Most of these farms are run by the Amish. They are known for overalls, scooters and horse drawn buggies. This short features a local Amish man named Jeb. He leaps over his family’s fence to learn how to scooter with pro biker Steve Mccann!

MTV’s Nitro Circus visited Woodward Camp this week to shoot for their upcoming season. They shot for three days beginning on Monday, June 13th. The entire crew was present including, Jolene Van Vugt, Jim DeChamp, Special Greg, Erik Roner, Streetbike Tommy Passemante, Hubert Rowland (everyon’e favorite redneck), Jermey Rawle and Andy Bell. Travis Pastrana arrived on the set Tuesday, immediately after participating in a rally car race. Jolene was sporting a (pink) cast from a reported motorcycle accident.
For those unaware, Woodward Camp is a summer camp with programs in: cheerleading, gymnastics, BMX, skate and inline. It is a meca for skating. The skate side of camp contains countless acres of indoor skate parks, vert ramps, concrete parks and even a mega ramp. Some of the world’s best BMX, Skate and Inline pros train at Woodward Camp year round.
The summer camp was in session, but at times it felt like camp was brought to a halt when the Nitro Crew was filming. Three days is a short time to

film, but for the Nitro Crew it was enough time to get creative in every facility on camp grounds. The crew did some ridiculous things in the gym, got very creative on all of the ramps and even used the entire camp in one segment! I do not want to spoil the show, but around camp they used BMX bikes, motorcycles, skateboards and almost everything else with wheels attached to it.
On Thursday the Nitro Crew was on their way to film at Bam Margera’s house. The episode featuring Woodward is rumored to include footage from Bam’s house as well. It will definitely be an adrenaline charged show. Be sure not to miss the upcoming season!
A new season of Nitro Circus starts in August. Sundays at 10:00 PM on MTV!
