Water skiing includes two-skiing, kneeboarding, wakeboarding and slalom skiing. All ski boats are captained by USCG licensed powerboating counselors, and counselors are trained by professional ski trainers. They guide campers through land drills before taking them out on the water.
As campers progress through water skiing, their powerboat ranks will progress as well.
For example, campers participating in advanced skiing will also be mastering center console boat handling and will learn how to pull water skiers under the supervision of a counselor. They learn how to navigate in and around other vessels and keep safety the first priority.
