Watersports Camp W Style
Shred the Wake at Camp W: The Wakemasters Program
The Wakemasters Program is for campers who are excited about the thrill of Wakeboarding, Wake Surfing, or Waterskiing and serious about improving their skills. Participants will have the opportunity to get out on the lake and ride as much as possible during each session. As a member of the Wakemaster Program, you will be part of a team that is serious about skill development and even more serious about fun. To ensure quality, this program has limited capacity each session. Please note: Campers enrolled in the Wake Masters program will still have ample opportunity to participate in other activities.
Experienced instructors will assist campers in:
Setting realistic goals for the camp session
Boat and water safety
Building confidence on the boards or skis
Giving campers constructive feedback by selective videoing riding sessions
Developing skills to take skiing and boarding to the next level
Develop Skills and Learn New Tricks
Our AXIS Wake ski and wakeboard boat provides the perfect speed with cruise control and ideal wake shape thanks to our ballast tanks to take your skiing and riding to the next level. Beginner Wakeboarders and Water Skiers will learn to be comfortable riding behind the boat while developing skills and confidence. Intermediate and advanced riders will learn from experienced instructors and other campers and be challenged to further develop their skills.
Our experienced instructors work with you to set goals and provide the necessary step-by-step instructions to help you achieve those goals. The Wakemasters Program is a fun and exciting way to learn new skills and develop new tricks while hanging out on the boat with like minded campers.
The Connecticut River is our Playground
Thanks to our proximity to the river, we’re lucky enough to run our wakeboarding and water skiing program on one of Vermonts best teaching locations. Long smooth traffic less rides for miles! Public land and recreational use ensure the river stays beautifully rural and clean all summer long. We use a state of the art AXIS Wake boat (complete with a wake tower and ballast tanks) and attentive, experienced instructors to offer up to two sessions of wakeboarding and waterskiing per day. Activity sessions are spent teaching campers to challenge themselves through water sports while exploring the beautiful scenery and learning river ecology.
Learn from Experienced Instructors
Mature, experienced, and fun adult Camp W instructors are the backbone of our camp and especially our Wakeboarding and Water Skiing Program. Whether on the boat, on the board, or in the water, keeping campers safe is always Nate & Sean’s first priority. All campers will learn the universal hand signals to communicate with the boat driver as they ride, as well as learn to “spot” for their peers. When working with beginners, our staff knows how to set them up for success by communicating fundamentals, demonstrating as needed, and providing actionable encouragement and instruction, always with a focus on having fun. Our instructors are also equipped to teach our more experienced riders (some of whom bring their own boards!) advanced riding techniques and tricks.
*We schedule at least two trips on the boat a week, but by nature Watersports is weather dependent. We aren’t on the water in foul weather or when conditions aren’t safe.*
