Canada Week at Woodward Pennsylvania

The Canadian Junior and Youth WAG National teams will be training at the Camp July 3-9, 2016. (week 5)

Cost for any Canadian for that week only is $849.00 US (reduced from 1,149.00 US). It’s a good chance for Canadian girls to meet and train with their National team. And meet Liliya Podkopayeva, 1995 World AA Champion.

If you’ve never been to one of the BIG Camps, I’d highly recommend it for at least one week at least once in your life.

Details on week 5.
