Experience Wakeboard
With CAMP SUMMERS USA

Working as a specialist wakeboard counselor at a summer camp in the United States is an opportunity to share a water activity full of energy, learning, and personal growth. For many children and teenagers, wakeboarding is one of the highlights of the summer because it combines speed, balance, and fun on the lake. As a specialist, you will help campers approach this sport progressively, safely, and in a way adapted to their level. Some will arrive with experience in boards or water sports; others will need to learn from scratch how to position themselves, hold the rope, and feel comfortable in the water. Your calm, motivating, and responsible attitude will be essential for everyone to enjoy the challenge.

Teach Wakeboarding to Your Campers!

Responsibilities

Your responsibilities may include preparing boards, life jackets, ropes, boats, and starting areas in accordance with the camp’s protocols. You will be able to teach how to put on the equipment, adopt a safe starting position, hold the handle, communicate with the boat, and practice basic balance and steering movements. You will also organize on-land exercises, demonstrations, practice turns, and support activities so that campers understand the sequence before entering the water. It will be important to adapt the instructions to the age, size, and experience of each participant, celebrating milestones such as standing up for the first time, keeping their balance, or covering a short distance. The progression should be realistic, positive, and focused on safety.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

People with experience in wakeboarding, board sports, water activities, physical education, or working with children and teenagers are valued. Requirements may vary, and some camps may ask for specific training or certifications for roles related to boats and safety. In addition to your technical skill, you will need responsibility, observation skills, patience, and clear communication. During the summer you will practice English, work with an international team, and develop leadership, organization, and group management skills. If you enjoy the water, board sports, and helping others overcome challenges, working as a wakeboard counselor in the United States can be a very stimulating professional experience.

SAFETY FIRST

Wakeboarding develops coordination, balance, endurance, perseverance, and confidence. Campers learn that physical challenges require practice, patience, and the ability to try again after a fall. As a counselor, you will be able to help them manage that frustration with a constructive attitude, recognizing effort and showing that every attempt brings learning. The activity also encourages respect for turns, observation, and support among peers: while one person practices, the others can cheer them on, learn by watching, and get ready for their own turn. Your leadership will help create an environment where adrenaline is combined with camaraderie and responsibility. The goal will not be to perform complex maneuvers, but to make each young person feel proud of their own progress.
