During designated tramp time, campers learn the fundamentals of jumping on a trampoline safely and effectively. These new skills help campers discover better wakeboarding technique behind the boat.  A wake handle is used to simulate proper positioning of the body and handle while jumping, spinning and flipping. 

Indoor Waterpark
Avalanche Bay, Michigan's Largest  Indoor Waterpark is conveniently located at Boyne Mountain, is utilized to give campers time to have fun on the waterslides as well as spend time working on their surfing skills. The park's stationary surf simulator gives campers a chance to work on their balance in a new way.

• Kayaking
• Putt Putt Golf

Kayaking
Campers work with a partner and learn how to safely operate/navigate a two-person sea kayak around Deer Lake.  Kayaking is a great upper body work out that helps campers to develop better strength for wakeboarding.

Biking
Campers have the opportunity to take trails all around the mountain.  Biking is a great lower body work out which helps to strengthen the legs for wakeboarding.

Campfires
Each evening, campers and coaches will gather around a campfire and enjoy roasted marshmallows and the beautiful Deer Lake sunsets. The campfire time will be used to recap everything experienced during the day and to talk about goals for the next day.
