As a parent of four, I know that sending your child off to wakeboard or wakesurf lessons is a big decision, and can be a little intimidating. If our website doesn’t answer all of your questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to give us a call.
Sincerely,

USA Waterski Affiliated Wakeboard School
Deposit and Payment:
A $100 Non-Refundable deposit will be accepted by check or Visa/MasterCard to reserve your place for a wakeboard lesson. The remaining balance can be taken care of when you arrive at school, or anytime before.
Cancellation: Prior to your wakeboard lesson
While the deposit is non-refundable, we will apply the deposit to a later week if you reschedule.
If you get injured at school and are advised not to wakeboard, we offer 2 options:
Am I good enough to attend?
We’ve had many people come to the camp that have never water-skied or tried wakeboarding. As a beginner it is better to learn things the right way before you have time to build bad habits. The learning curve is much faster for beginners; at the end of the week many people can’t believe how much they have progressed.
How much does it cost? Whats included?
Please see home page.
Where are you located?
We are located in Fremont Wisconsin, which is about 3 hours north of Chicago, or ½ hour west of Appleton. We are just off Interstate HWY 10, and are right next door to the award winning Yogi Bear Camp Resort.
What if I’m the only beginner, girl, adult, etc.?
This rarely happens, but if it does, after everyone settles in and spends time out riding with each other; skill level, age or gender doesn’t seem to matter anymore. Everyone at the camp begins to realize they are there for the same reason, a love for wakeboarding. Many students stay in touch after the camp and remain friends.
What if I don’t have a wakeboard?
That’s no problem, Fort Fremont Marine offers the camp all the 2014, Hyperlite Pro model boards to use at no cost.
How is the river for wakeboarding?
We ride on a 13-mile stretch of the Wolf River that is wind protected, deep, and absolutely perfect for wakeboarding. I’ve ridden on other lakes and rivers all across the country and I don’t think any of them can compare to what we have here in Fremont.
Do you pay your instructors?
This may sound like a weird question, but many wakeboard camps don’t pay their instructors in exchange for giving them riding time. Besides being stingy, there are lots of problems with this:
I have been coaching wakeboarders for 17 years and personally train each of our instructors to be an effective coach. It may cost a little more, but it’s worth it.
.
Do we get to ride in the boat while other people at the camp wakeboard?
Yeah, being in the boat to watch others ride not only builds friendships, but also helps you improve your own riding. When you watch someone land a trick for the first time it gets everyone in the boat psyched and gives motivation for your own riding. By riding in the boat, you’ll also learn techniques to coach people at different skill levels. Avoid camps where you sit on the dock all day waiting to get picked up for your turn.
What will I learn?
We stress teaching the basics of wakeboarding such as proper edging, release and pop off the wake, and basic 180’s. Once you master these areas it will be so much easier to learn various inverts and spins. It’s also a good idea to have some tricks in mind that you would like to learn so we can work towards that goal.
