Mike Ciprari, Founder of Loyal to the Craft and SJC Drum, commented:

"As a teenager, music, arts, and action sports were my greatest inspirations. I dedicated myself to the scene, following the Vans Warped Tour, setting up a booth to showcase my drum brand, and forging connections along the way. Now, being able to create an epic week bringing back that same type of community to the next generation of kids is truly a dream come true. My goal is for campers to build lifelong relationships and leave equipped with the tools, knowledge, and motivation to pursue their dreams relentlessly."

Woodward President Chris “Gunny” Gunnarson continued:

“Art-in-Action presented by Loyal to the Craft will be the most mind-blowing youth action sports camp out there. We're talking about a highly curated week packed with unforgettable activities that merge Woodward's transformative camp experience with immersive journeys into music, creative arts, and content - the vibrant realms that define the very essence of action sports culture and lifestyle. The growing culture of action sports and the music scene align perfectly and will make for a one-of-a-kind summer program.”

Phoebe Mills, Vice President of Camps and Programming at Woodward, also chimed in:

“Our camps have always offered a supportive community fueled by adventure, passion, and culture. Activities for this summer program will be nothing short of spectacular, offering hands-on learning from the legendary artists, musicians, and brands that define action sports.”

Steve van Doren, Vans Ambassador of Fun and son of founder Paul van Doren, added:

“We are so excited to come back to Woodward PA, one of our favorite places on earth. We will bring artists, printshop, skate legends, musicians, Vans swag, and Bucks for Tricks. Get ready for Vans waffles, a sundae bar, and lots of fun."

CMO of Liberated Brands, Ryan Immegart concluded:

"Growing up in a small mountain town as a lifelong board sport enthusiast and dedicated musician, I could only dream of an experience like this. What the crew has put together for this truly special session is the kind of inspiration that will fuel the culture of the next generation. We are honored to be involved and excited to bring Volcom’s unique brand DNA into the mix."
