The excitement at Woodland Public Schools doesn't stop when school's out! Throughout the summer, Woodland High School student-athletes, coaches, and staff host youth camps for students in kindergarten through 8th grade. These camps provide opportunities for younger students to build skills, connect with peers, and learn from older student mentors.

Woodland's athletics and club programs, including opportunities like these summer camps, are supported by EP&O levy funding, approved by Woodland voters in 2024.
