Guest Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 For snow skiers, I know there are some great summer camps like Mt. Hood where they can work on skills. Is there an equivalent for water skiing? Are there certain camps that people love? Our daughter is 7 and loves water skiing. She’s fairly new to slalom but will be doing it a lot this summer. Thinking about next summer and would love some recommendations. She loves alpine racing and would probably love skiing a course. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Keith_Menard Posted July 11, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 11, 2022 Did Coble last year, and it was awesome. Will do it again! My son is going for 2 weeks this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Rw3 Posted July 12, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 12, 2022 10 yr old daughter just got back from Coble ski camp and had an amazing time. She is an alpine racer as well and opted out of Mt Hood with her ski team to do this camp. When I picked her up she said “Dad, this totally blows away snow skiing. I love this” :)She and my 7yr old will be going next year as well. Happy to chat about her experience anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Hallpass Posted July 13, 2022 Baller Share Posted July 13, 2022 I think that the regions have youth development camps each summer. In the West, there were camps in Idaho, Sacramento, and the Bakersfield area this summer. Not sure about other Geos. Our daughter was invited to camp when she signed up for a USA water ski number and started competitions. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller_ lpskier Posted July 18, 2022 Baller_ Share Posted July 18, 2022 I think I’ve noted this before: Chelsea Mills started her path to water skiing while at a traditional summer camp in Maine. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Littleskier2014 Posted July 26, 2022 Author Baller Share Posted July 26, 2022 My daughter is at a traditional camp in Maine right now - that’s where she is learning to ski. We got a couple letters recently - one where she was excited to get up on 1 and another where she was working on a course. So Much fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
