Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    The young men are passionate about their skateboarding and biking and work very hard at it. They have families who support their love for these sports. The camp staff and the majority of the camp's attendees (including Cody, Hunter, and Larry) are Caucasian; a few of the staff members are women. Hunter comes from a single-parent home; marriage and fatherhood are sometimes discussed in this context.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    The boys are sometimes involved in mild disagreements. Because of the nature of the sports they participate in, some kids take tumbles and sustain minor injuries. While the kids don't always use safety equipment at home, safety is a priority at the camp.

  • Sex:

    Occasional references are made to a kid's underwear sticking out of his pants.

  • Language:

    Very occasional strong language (like "a--hole") are fully bleeped. One biker calls Hunter a "giggle pig."

  • Consumerism:

    The series is an obvious promotional vehicle for the camp. A large Red Bull logo is clearly visible on at least one of the riding ramps.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Fuel TV Presents Camp Woodward

Parents need to know that this reality series -- which follows three young teens as they attend an action sports summer camp -- is pretty tame overall, though it does serve as a promotional vehicle for the camp and also prominently features logos for Red Bull. The language is pretty tame, although the boys occasionally use strong words like "a--hole" (though swearing is fully bleeped out). Although there are some female staff members, the overall experience is geared toward boys. The show will most likely appeal to tweens and teens who enjoy skateboarding, BMX biking, and related activities.

Families Can Talk About

Do girls participate in these activities? Do you think shows featuring "extreme" sports are geared specifically toward boys? Why or why not?
