COVID-19 UPDATE: WOODWARD TAHOE SUSPENDS OPERATIONS

Effective Thursday, November 19, 2020 Woodward Tahoe will be Closed

We have continued to monitor the ongoing COVID-19 public health crisis and in collaboration with local Nevada County and state health officials, are suspending our operations at Woodward Tahoe in accordance with the county’s new risk level, which the state elevated to purple tier as of November 16, 2020. We are closed for now and, while we cannot underestimate the fluidity of the current situation both locally, and nationwide, our goal is to reopen when we’re able. 

Boreal Mountain California and Soda Springs Mountain Resort will be moving forward with outdoor winter skiing and snowboarding operations as planned, on November 23 and 27 respectively. We will continue to monitor this dynamic situation with COVID-19 and make operational adjustments at both resorts as necessary. We will provide an update should this change. 

We realize this decision will surely be disappointing to many, however we remain committed to partnering with our community to do everything we can to help slow the spread of COVID-19. The dedication that our team and guests have shown since our reopening in July to support this effort is more than clear. For that, we thank you. During this time of suspended operations, we encourage everyone to continue to do their part to wear a mask and enable social distancing.

Please stay safe so we can return soon to bouncing through The Bunker, skating the concrete, and sending it into the foam pits. We thank you for your patience and understanding.

WOODWARD TAHOE TO HOST DAY CAMP FOR 2020

Camp begins July 6, daily summer operations start July 1

Like you, we have closely followed COVID-19, both locally and nationally, including Governor Newsom’s reopening plan for California. We are adjusting our operational plans as we work to meet or exceed guidelines provided by Nevada County, and the State of California. 

After much deliberation and consideration of the current reopening allowances from California and Nevada County, which do not currently allow for overnight camp to commence, we have made the difficult decision to suspend overnight summer camps for the remainder of the summer.  Rather than continue to wait for a decision and keep our camp families and staff waiting, we made this proactive decision so that all may have sufficient time to adjust plans.

While overnight camp will no longer be offered, we are grateful and excited to be able to offer campers the ability to experience Woodward this summer in a way which is consistent with the current phase of reopening. This includes six weeks of Woodward Tahoe summer 2020 day camps and programming, which will allow camp kids a great week of Woodward experiences kicking off on July 6. 

In addition to summer camp, we are also excited to reopen our doors at Boreal / Woodward for summer activities and 7 days per week public operations.  Summer operations will begin July 1 with daily access from 12–8PM to The Bunker, all outdoor parks and our lift-served mountain bike trails. New safety protocols and procedures will be in place for both summer day camp and daily programming.

Our top priority in navigating the COVID-19 pandemic has been the safety and wellbeing of our campers, staff and community. We appreciate your understanding and patience as we adjust plans to comply with government guidelines. 

We look forward to hosting campers and welcoming guests back to Woodward this summer.

NEW 2020 CAMP KICK OFF DATE

We’ve been keeping a close eye on COVID-19 and, based on the information currently available to us, Woodward Tahoe summer camp will now launch the week of July 5, plus we've added 2 new camp weeks in August. 

If you are currently registered for a June camp week, which has been suspended, we are offering a number of options, including incentives to re-book to a new date. We are in the process of personally contacting all June (weeks 1-4) campers with additional information and we appreciate your patience. 

We continue to believe in the meaningful and enriching community experience created at camp, and we know you are counting on us to provide that for your camper and family. That is why we will continue to carefully monitor COVID-19 and follow all health and regulatory guidelines, including Governor Newsom’s plans for California and the Western States Coalition on reopening. This information will continue to inform our plans for Woodward summer camp. Along these lines, we are working with local health officials to ensure the safety of our campers, staff and community, including taking actions that promote health, ensure the cleanliness of all camp facilities, and enable social distancing. 

We look forward to hosting campers at Woodward this summer.

Getting Through This Together 

Over the last 50 years, we’ve created endless memories, celebrated monumental moments, and brought together legendary people to shape what Woodward is today. 

So, as we work to navigate these unprecedented times alongside the rest of the world, we want to stop and reflect on what matters most: all of you. The Woodward community—from our passionate campers and guests to our dedicated families, athletes and staff—is what makes all of this possible. 

We hope to provide you with a little bit of inspiration to stay positive and healthy through these uncertain, challenging times surrounding the situation regarding COVID-19. As such, we invite you to stay virtually close to the Woodward community by following our social feeds to stay engaged.

In the meantime, the Woodward Tahoe Bunker operations remain temporarily suspended {see Boreal update 3/20/20}, and we continue to prepare for 2020 summer camp at Woodward Tahoe. At this time, all summer camps are scheduled to proceed as planned beginning in June. We are doing so because it is our foundational belief that sport progression and summer camp fun can change lives—and this is particularly the case in times like this, when anxiety and stress are high. Know that we are monitoring this dynamic situation and will continue to follow the advice and guidance of federal, state and local officials and health agencies. 

We look forward to sharing the stoke with each and every one of you today and for the next 50 years to come.
