How it works
From inquiry to everyone riding
Tell us your group
Camp name, group size, preferred dates and any dietary needs. We send a firm quote within one business day.
We build the day
Boat assignment based on group size: up to 30 campers = 2–3 boats; 30–50 = a full fleet of 4–5 boats. Each boat holds 12 — about 50 campers a day, 59 at the absolute max.
A 2-hour session
Typically 5–6 rotations per boat. On tubing boats each camper gets ~4–5 minutes of ride time; advanced campers rotate through wakeboard or surf on the 24ft — the math comes out to about 20 minutes of water time per camper.
Everyone rides
Drivers rotate riders quickly while the group cheers from the deck. The energy stays high, no one sits out.

- ✦2× 22ft MasterCrafts — tubing & wakeboarding, all levels

Common questions
Youngest camper for tubing?+
Age 6+, comfortable in a life vest. Younger campers ride along on the boat.
Do campers need to swim?+
All riders wear USCG-approved life vests; comfort in the water helps, strong swimming isn't required.
What if a camper doesn't want to go?+
No pressure — they stay on the boat with their group. Most join in after watching their friends.
