Dear Campers and Parents�

We’re so excited that Summer 2020 is just around the corner!

This summer, we’ll debut a new enrichment camp for 4 year olds. Fabulous Fours will be offered at
Main Campus and Woodward North, in response to families who asked for the opportunity for their
younger kids to experience all that WA Summer Camps have to offer.

Our littlest campers will spend their mornings engaged in fun and
academically enriching activities with Woodward faculty members
who specialize in understanding the needs of four year olds.

Meanwhile, kids ages 5 to 17 can choose from a wide array
of academic, enrichment, and athletic camps where they can
learn and grow while making new friends. New camps this year
include Shark Week, when campers will learn all about what
makes sharks unique, from their skin to their teeth; Slime City,
when kids will make multiple types of slime and use it to conduct

Jump Start Geometry, which will teach
terminology and concepts to lay a foundation for a successful
academic year.

Now is the time to begin planning, so please take a look at
this magazine for a glimpse into what awaits campers in
Summer 2020. For all camp descriptions and to register,
go to woodward.edu/camps
information and FAQs.

If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me
directly as well.

I can’t wait to see you this summer!

“I enjoy camps because everyone involved has a summer
mindset for growth. We are all excited, relaxed, and
ready for something new and engaging to shape our
lives. As a community, we share this special and unique
time to grow, bond, and learn in ways that build lasting
relationships and lifelong memories. In addition, we get
to have a whole lot of fun, eat great food and snacks,
and play some wicked fun games!”

— Ryan Heming

Mr. Heming has taught and coordinated instructional technology in the
Primary School for 18 years. When he isn’t teaching computer, library,
and maker skills, he can be found mountain biking, playing ice hockey, or
jumping into glacial rivers in Iceland. Your child can join Mr. Heming this
summer for MineCraft EDU and Robot Wars, Bot Battles, and Game camps.

“I love making games out of everything we do in
camp, and I enjoy having extended periods of time
to work on STEAM projects with my campers.”

— Chuck Marshall

Mr. Marshall joined the Summer Camps team in 2017. He hosts a
variety of camps each summer including Introduction to Robotics,
Robot Warriors, and YouTube Juniorversity. Mr. Marshall teaches
STEAM (Science-Technology-Engineering-Arts-Math) in the
Woodward Academy Middle School.

“The most enjoyable aspect of camp for me is the campers! Experiencing
their enthusiasm and willingness to explore creative activities makes every

me why I ‘give up’ my summer to host camps.
I always respond by quoting Rumi, ‘Let what
you love be what you do.’”

— Jasmine Wakeel

Ms. Wakeel is the Primary School After School Care
Director and a 2011 Woodward graduate. She hosts
a variety of camps including Slime City, Candytopia,
and “Nailed It” Baking Challenge.

What Kids � Parents Are Saying

“We are a new Woodward family, so basketball camp and
academic camp introduced our son to his new school
and allowed him to get comfortable with all aspects
of the Academy. Everything from riding the bus every
morning, making friends, eating in the cafeteria, and
meeting teachers prepared George to jump right in and

again next summer, and I would highly recommend
them to new or returning families.”

Carolyn Patterson, Mom of George (3rd Grade)

“My son loves Woodward Summer Camps. For years, he struggled
with learning how to swim. After only one week of swim camp,

the team at Woodward had accomplished in just one short week!
WA Summer Camps offer so many great classes that allow
the kids to learn while having fun. Marquis makes new friends
every year and speaks highly of the staff. We continue to have
positive experiences, and my son can’t wait to come back again
next summer!”

Katrina Bivins, Mom of Marquis (5th Grade)

“As a parent, I love the variety of the Woodward Summer More on the next page
Camps. My two daughters, Sophie, Class of 2024, and
Audrey, Class of 2026, have very different interests, yet |3

didn’t want to miss. Sophie (pictured) loved the expert
coaching in the Triathlon Camp as well as the extra
instruction she received in math camp. Audrey had a
literal blast in science camp. She came home each day
telling us about the objects she learned to propel!”

Ronda Zents, Mom of Sophie, (8th grade) and Audrey (6th grade)

What Parents Are Saying continued

“We loved having the option to choose different camps
each week to keep it fresh! Everyone was so friendly and
helpful, which made my son excited to go to camp each
day. We can’t wait until next year.”

Leticia McCadden, Mom of Jace (Kindergarten)

“I loved learning to code, and I made two apps during camp!”

— Elizabeth McGivern (5th Grade)

“We loved the convenience and versatility of Woodward
camps! Our daughter enjoyed seeing Woodward
classmates and making new friends while coding, learning
robotics, and participating in recreational activities.”

— Deb Houry, Elizabeth’s Mom

“Woodward Summer Camps allow for kids to have a
balance of both enrichment and fun. From coding video
games to swimming to learning new math concepts, our
son has had a well-rounded experience.”

Fonda Martin, Mom of Pierce (1st Grade)

“I loved science camp because I got to do all kinds of
fun experiments and learn the science behind them!”

— Evie Semaan (5th Grade)

“My kids loved the Woodward Summer Camps! What’s
not to love: entertaining and engaging teachers; caring
and supportive student helpers; not to mention the kids
raving about the food!”

— Jane Semaan, Evelyn’s Mom
