Question 5

Will my child be able to wakeboard and wakesurf by the end of the week?

Accepted Answer

While we strive to help all campers progress, we cannot guarantee that every child will be wakeboarding or wakesurfing by the end of the week. Each child is unique, and progress depends on factors such as age, strength, and personal comfort in the water.

• On average, campers aged 9–15 often develop the skills to get up and ride confidently by the end of the week.
 • Campers aged 6-8 may experience varying progress, but parents know their child’s abilities and readiness best.

Regardless of the outcome, every camper will gain valuable experience, build confidence, and have fun on the water. Even if a child doesn’t fully master riding, our primary goal is to instill a love for the water and lake life while fostering a desire to continue progressing.

For those interested in improving their skills further, we recommend attending for 2–3 weeks of camp to allow more time for instruction and practice.

Question 6

What activities are offered at the camp?

Accepted Answer

We offer a vibrant mix of activities designed to inspire, challenge, and delight every camper, with experiences tailored to their age and skill level.

For Full Day Campers mondays are dedicated entirely to wakeboarding and wakesurfing, giving campers a solid foundation to start the week. Tuesday through Friday, half of the day features a three-hour block of wakeboarding and wakesurfing instruction to enhance campers skills. The other half consists of two 1.5-hour activity periods, with activities rotating daily and varying by group and session.
