We understand that there are a lot of things to consider when choosing a wakeboard camp. We have designed this section to help guide you through this process. It gives you answers to commonly asked questions and explains why these things are important to your decision making process.
Why The Wakeboard Camp?
Answer
First and foremost we have the best coaches in the world. Our head coach, Kyle Schmidt is Instructional Editor for Wakeboarding Magazine. Aaron Reed is one of the top wakeskaters in the world. Ben Greenwood is a ranked pro tour competitor. We also have few others that come and go during our busy season.
Plus, TWC was set up specifically as a camp where the others are either part of a ski school, an afterthought set up in some pros backyard and some are even on houseboats or mobile. Would you send a deposit to these guys hoping that they will still be in business when you arrive? We have a full office and kitchen staff providing everything you could possibly need for your trip.

Am I good enough to come to the camp?
Answer
This may be the most common question that we receive. There are no prerequisites to be able to attend the camp. We teach riders of all levels from complete beginners to total rippers. Actually in some cases, the less you know, the better your chances of advancing more quickly. It usually takes the average rider a day or two to break old habits before they can start learning new ones. If you don't have any old habits, you can learn things right the first time.

Where is the camp located?
Answer
30 minutes west of Orlando. Please see our "Maps & Directions" section for more details.

How old do I have to be to come to the camp?
Answer
We do not have any age requirements to come to the camp. However, camper ages do vary throughout the year. Typically the spring break and summer months are majority teenagers. The ages range from 12-17 years old. The month of May and also the off-peak season (September- February)is usually when we have the older crowds. There is no right or wrong time to come though.

What type of supervision do you have at the camp?
Answer
If there are underage students at the camp, we offer supervision 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Every night we have an MOD, which is a staff member who is scheduled on to sleep here and look after the students. Underage campers are required to stay on the property at all times unless they are accompanied by a coach or staff member.

Are there alligators in the lake?
Answer
Every lake in Florida has alligators. However, you would be lucky to actually see one! Due to the increase in population of our area and the large size of our lakes, alligators have become more and more sparse. Gators are likely to stay in the canals and guarded areas where there is less action. They are more scared of us then we are of them.

Do girls come to the camp?
Answer
We do have both guys and girls at the camp. The girls have separate lodging, with a private bathroom and shower.

Do you have private lodging?
Answer
Unfortunately, at this time, we do not have private rooms and apartments. We have demolished our private accommodations in order to build a whole new facility. If you are interested in a more private setting, we have plenty of other options to recommend. Please contact us for further details.
