Waterskiing Camps

waterskiing camps for everyone

Our water ski camps are great for kids of all ages. Ideally we can accommodate 4 to 6 kids at a time with at least one parent present. They can be a 1 day or 2 day camps and it would be best that the kids arrive at the camp on Friday evening.

Safety
As water skiing is an extreme sport, we are always aware of and impress upon our students the importance of safety at all times. All our students have to wear life vests when they are on the boats and when they are skiing on the water. as part of the introduction to the course our instructor teaches the students about all the safety aspects of this sport and our boat drivers have the necessary training and experience to drive according to the skill level of the student so that the inevitable falls don’t cause injury.

Accommodation
Accommodation can be provided at the water ski location, as there are 4 comfortable double rooms and one bungalow available. However if you prefer to stay at a hotel in the area, this can be organized for you.

Start Time/ End Time
Camps start early in the morning and end late in the afternoon with a short break for lunch. So be prepared for a rigorous training.

Training Steps
It would be ideal to come to the camp on a Friday evening in order to settle in. On this first evening the students will get a chance to meet the ski instructor who will explain the basics of water skiing. They will also be given the opportunity to see water skiing DVD’s and will get literature to read on the subject. This is all important basic preparation for the next day when the course begins.

Early morning is the best time to get on the water as it is completely calm and ideal for skiing. The ski instructor will first instruct the students on land. He will tell them how to stand up on two skis and what is expected of them on the water. He will show them the position they should maintain while standing and then how to slalom from one side to the other.

After mastering the use of two skis. They will be trained to drop one ski and to maintain a mono ski position. Finally they will learn the art of slalom skiing on one ski. To perfect this is very difficult and it will take a great deal of practice and dedication.

Certificates
At the end of the course each child will receive a certificate saying he participated in and completed the course.
