With summer on the horizon, Woodward Copper, Colorado, is home to the ultimate summer camp experience in the Rockies. The one-of-a-kind on-mountain glacier offers camp goers the opportunity to ski and ride on snow during the heat of summer. Copper offers 10 weeks of on-snow camp experiences for skiers and riders ages 7-17. Returning for its second year, Woodward Copper will host a week of adult summer camp, taking place May 26 through May 31. Any potential camper, kid or adult, can save an extra $150 on a Woodward Summer Camp by using code EARLY150 when booking a weeklong camp session before April 30.
Woodward Copper is a leader in freestyle skiing and snowboarding, pushing the bounds of progression for athletes of all ages and ability levels. During the summer, Woodward’s on-snow camp experience allows adults and kids to elevate their terrain park skills through a variety of training techniques and world-class facilities. Woodward Summer Camp begins in May with an adult week of camp followed by 10 weeklong sessions between June and August of summer camp for kids ages 7-17. Woodward Copper offers the longest season of on-snow summer camp in the state, with weeklong sessions being offered until August 9. The only of its kind in Colorado, the on-mountain glacier is located at an elevation of 10,600 ft. boasting a terrain park with jumps, jibs, rails and gravity-defying park features. The park sits on four acres of terrain serviced by a surface lift, optimal for making repeated laps on the snow.
One of the most popular aspects of the camp experience is the opportunity to learn alongside professional skiers and snowboarders who are legends and innovators in their respective disciplines. Kids can train in tandem with pro snowboarders Red Gerard, Zeb Powell, Jamie Anderson, Danny Davis, Jill Perkins and more. Skiers Alex Ferreira, Taylor Seaton, Joss Christensen and Tom Wallisch will also be joining campers on snow. For a full list of pros visiting camp this summer, visit CopperColorado.com.
As part of Woodward camp, participants will have access to sessions at the Woodward Copper Barn – a 19,400 square foot indoor playground with six Olympic fly-bed trampolines, 16’ by 16’ Super Trampoline, foam pits, pump track, multiple skate areas and a spring floor. The Barn also has ParkBoards™ and ParkSkis™, which are wheeled skis and snowboards that allow riders to practice jumps into a foam pit before replicating tricks on the snow. With exclusive access to Copper’s world-class training facilities, qualified coaching staff and shared knowledge from visiting professional athletes, Woodward summer camp is unrivaled in providing one-of-a-kind experiences for burgeoning shredders.
After a highly successful first year, Copper is offering its Woodward Adult Camp again this summer. Camp participants ages 18-and up will have exclusive access to the on-snow glacier May 26 through May 31, with coaching provided by world-class Woodward camp instructors. Each participant can review on-hill video of themselves tackling new skills and access to the Barn for progression-based training on trampolines, foam pits and ramps.
Kids coming to camp for one of the weeklong sessions can cultivate their ideal camp experience. The Peak Performance camp experience is for die-hard athletes that want to prioritize training on the glacier and in the Barn. Peak Performance will focus on developing and sharpening a camper’s skills so they continue developing their ski and ride skills all year long. The All-Mountain Adventure track will provide access to the on-mountain park in the mornings but will also spend time in the afternoons exploring Copper’s summer village, taking part in activities like Bumper Boats, Go-Karts and the Rocky Mountain Coaster. All campers have the opportunity to participate in summer and recreational activities as part of the camp experience.
The Woodward Copper Barn will also be open for Intro and Drop-In Sessions Friday through Sunday during the summer for the public, starting June 7. To book and learn more about Woodward Copper Summer Camp and Woodward Barn sessions, visit CopperColorado.com.
