Beginner Sessions – Tuesday and Thursday we offer Beginner Sessions. These sessions cater to young beginner skiers and focuses on learning to ski and building confidence. Please continue to sign up for the beginner session, until your skier can get up behind the boat unassisted. The Tuesday session is a full day session (9:15-4:30) and the Thursday session you can choose between morning session from 9:15am – 12:30pm and afternoon session from 1:30pm – 4:30pm, or sign up for both morning and afternoon to get a full day Beginner Session.

Daily Schedule
9:30-12:30 Morning Session
Campers go out together in the boat for the morning session, they can choose from waterskiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding or a combination of all 3. We will offer Wakesurfing in the afternoon session to kids who have mastered the other disciplines. The campers work towards goals throughout the week such as getting up on your own, cutting the wake, dropping a ski or more advanced goals such as jumping the wake or landing a 180. Campers have a "report card" that is updated daily with skills from bronze, silver and gold levels to work towards.
Please Note: The Thursday half day beginner session follows the same schedule, but the beginners have their own boat with the option of using a boom. It is ideal to continue to book the beginner sessions until your camper is able to get up without assists behind the boat. Campers will have the option to kneeboard or wakeboard during this time as well.
12:30-1:30 Lunch
Lunch Break is at SWS, campers must pack their own lunch, or be prepared to purchase lunch at Pete's Links in our parking lot. We have spare time for kids to play, eat, swim. This time is fully supervised. There is time to purchase a treat from the Marina store once lunches have been finished.
1:30-4:30 Afternoon Session
Campers will load back into the boat for the afternoon to complete the rest of their runs for the day, continuing to work on their goals with their instructors and their encouraging peers on the boat.
What to Bring
Campers must pack their own lunch and drinks for the day. There is time to purchase a treat at the marina during lunch break, kids must bring and manage their own money.
Campers should dress for the weather—please bring bathing suit, sunscreen, towel, lifejacket and a change of clothes.
There may be times we need to cancel due to extreme weather, in this situation we will call or text message the parents by 9am if the weather is so bad we can not open or need to open late. If the weather drastically changes during the day and we need to close, we will call or text parents to pick up their kids. Again this is in cases of extreme incremental weather only.
