Details:
Kippewa has a huge array of activities for campers to choose from, and our water ski and wakeboard program, like all our activities, is run by experts that teach the sport at a high level. This is a real water ski program focusing on fundamentals from beginners through to tournament level. Campers are exposed to water skiing and wakeboarding as a sport, with graduated skill progression, as well as a social activity to be enjoyed with others. Our classes are structured so that staff take multiple campers out in the boat for a session together, the same way you train with friends. Not only do they learn from direct instruction, they also observe as others are taught.
Our top notch facilities include a slalom course and Malibu TXI tournament boats with towers and “wedge” for wakeboarding. We make extensive use of the “Boom” for teaching new skills and beginners.
Skiing and wakeboarding are the most popular activities at Kippewa. This is an amazing opportunity to work with kids and “pass the handle” to a new generation of water sports enthusiasts.
