What's Camp like?
We dedicate ourselves to THE ULTIMATE SUMMER CAMP EXPERIENCE: lots of learning, providing great traditional summer camp fun, keeping campers safe, and ensuring that every camper has an unforgettable experience.
Location, Location, Location
Beautiful Stallion Springs, California, is situated in the Tehachapi Mountains at 4,000' elevation, affording it perfect summer weather—sunny, dry, and seldom above 90 degrees. About 15 miles from Tehachapi and 2 hours north of Los Angeles, Woodward West was built in the true spirit of Woodward: we collected input from our campers, visiting pros, and our own 35+ years of experience in the summer-camp business to build the ultimate riding facility west of the Mississippi.

Campers ages 7 to 9 (and often older) live with a "mini mom" (girls) or a "mini dad" (boys) and have an earlier bedtime (9:30 P.M.) so they get plenty of rest.
