Who we host

A new lineup of camps every summer

Every season we run watersports days for a rotating roster of groups from across North Jersey — town rec departments, private day camps, youth organizations and religious camps. Some are first-timers; plenty come back year after year and lock their week before the summer even starts. However your camp runs, we've built a day around it.

Day camps

Full-group watersports days, 15–100 campers, run like clockwork.

Town rec & youth groups

Community programs and youth organizations — buses welcome right at the dock.

Returning partners

Many camps rebook the same week every year. Ask about a standing date.

Why camps choose us

  • Built for camp group days (15–100)
  • Structured rotation — every camper gets equal water time
  • Trained drivers on every boat
  • USCG-approved life vests sized for kids
  • In-boat safety briefings before every session
  • Optional lakeside group meals coordinated through The Beacon Restaurant

The main event

Tubing, all day long.

Tubing is what makes a camp day. No skill, no learning curve — hold on and scream. Every boat runs tubes, drivers rotate riders fast, and the deck turns into a cheering section between turns. Three campers on the tube at a time, then straight into the next rotation. The campers who swear they're "just watching" always end up in line.

How it works

From inquiry to everyone riding

  1. Camp group at the dock

    Tell us your group

    Camp name, group size, preferred dates and any dietary needs. We send a firm quote within one business day.

  2. Wake boats ready for the camp day

    We build the day

    Boats are assigned by group size — one boat per ~10 campers at $290 per boat, per hour. Our full fleet of five puts 50 campers on the water at once; bigger groups run in staggered waves across the day, up to 100 campers.

  3. A 2-hour tubing session for the group

    A 2-hour session

    Typically 5–6 rotations per boat, each camper getting ~4–5 minutes on the tube — the math comes out to about 20 minutes of water time per camper over the session.

  4. The group cheering their friends on

    Everyone rides

    Drivers rotate riders quickly while the group cheers from the deck. The energy stays high, no one sits out.

Our fleet

The whole fleet, out for your group

Big groups need boats in the water, not a line on the dock. We run up to five boats the same session — MasterCraft wake boats plus a Sport Tritoon or two — so campers are riding, not waiting their turn.

Plus 2× Bow Riders on request. Each boat takes up to 10 campers at $290 per boat, per hour — the full fleet of five puts 50 on the water at once, and we run bigger groups in waves up to 100 campers a day.

No pressure — they stay on the boat with their group. Most join in after watching their friends.
