Shawn Johnson will be there as a celebrity. And skateboard legend Tony Hawk.
China is making a big move towards improving their Action Sports.
Woodward Beijing is a Woodward partner facility located in Beijing, China. Scheduled to open in the spring of 2010, Woodward Beijing is Woodward’s first international facility. This camp will offer Skateboarding, BMX, Inline, dry land Snowboarding and Free Ski, Urban Dance, Digital Arts (Digital Photography / Video Production and Graphic Design), Music, Chinese and English language programs. …
official press release
I’ve seen reports online that Artistic gymnastics would be part of the program. Not true. But there will be Cheer.
Camp costs aren’t posted yet. But they likely will be far lower than rates in the USA. A bargain, perhaps, for athletes who may be traveling to Beijing for other reasons.
This camp is intended to operate full-time, year round, different than the North American Woodward camps which are mostly seasonal.
The Chinese government paid the $4 million or so construction costs.
