Board Sports

This camp is all about some of our favorite board sports, including wakeboarding and wakesurfing! We spend time on the boat learning more advanced watersports skills through wakeboarding and wakesurfing, along with our field trip to Roseland Wakepark! When it’s windy we will continue building our windsurfing skills with our new kids sails and beginner boards and the non-windy days will be filled with mellow SUPing and games on the water!
