All-Star Camp Woodward 2011

I just want to say that my daughter and I went and all of her coaches were AMAZING. I guess it really does depend on the week you go from reading what others have said, but many of the athletes there were working doubles and more and all of the coaches were able to spot them. Can't wait to go back next year! (but hopefully not in the canteen...it was funnish, but hard on the feet, knees and back...)

question if a parent goes as a worker. Do you get to stay in the same room as your child?

no, the kids stay in cabins with other campers with a councilor and im assuming the parent workers stay in the staff lofts, which are other cabins specifically for the staff at a different section of camp

What do you learn exactly by attending Camp Woodward? I received the brochure the other day and want to make sure its even worth it before you offer something like that to the kids?

you learn what you want to learn! the first day is evaluations where you throw your best tumbling pass which places you into a group with kids around your age & skill level. you fill out a sheet saying what you would like to learn so the coaches know everyones goals. the thing about woodward is that as a camper you have to be determined & willing because if you're not going to push yourself, ask questions/for help/for a spot, or go to open gyms you probably won't get that skill. basically, if you don't work hard & don't go to any open gyms you can't go home & say why didn't i get my skill? if you really work hard towards your goals then your experience should be very rewarding :)

What week did you go??? And ... being a driver was lots of fun ... definitely a good job ... just the possibility of being at the hospital late at night.

My daughter is going both week 2 & 3. She will be 9 and in the youth cabin. My hubby is volunteering for a parent position (he actually prefers the canteen. LOL) . Actually, I am getting a money order tomorrow and putting her application in the mail. She was there last year for week 3 only, she went with 2 older friends who stayed in the older cabin and she stayed in the youth cabin.

I am just crossing my fingers hubby gets selected for the parent job since she is going for two weeks. Last year this is what we did (FYY - I am military living in Korea so I can't go):

My hubby and another mom flew my daughter (8), her daughter (10), and another girl (10) to PA. They flew into Harrisburg on a Saturday and stayed at a hotel, rented a car and drove to Woodward Sunday morning and got the girls settled in. The mom of the 3rd girl flew up to PA and picked all 3 of the girls up and flew with them back to Florida. It worked out great!

This year, so far none of her friends are planning on going (maybe too early to plan). So our plan is for DH to *hopefully* get picked up for the parent position, fly with her up to PA, he stay the first week working, and he will fly home after the day after his work week ends. This way he can ensure all of her laundry, etc and stuff is set up for the second week (Yes I know you pay for laundry to be done, but he can ensure she gets set-up). If none of her friends go for the second week, we plan on paying the escort fee and for her to fly back by herself. She has flew on a plane may times (even international) but it would be her first time flying alone. I would really like for a couple girls from her gym to go, but we shall see.
