Safety
Our main concern at camp is your child's safety. This starts before your child arrives at camp with our efforts to become certified in safety. However, that is not sufficient for our personal standards. We have applied additional training in boat driving and pickup. We also offer a no rails/sliders policy to ensure your Childs safety. On top of this we encourage all campers to wear Coast Guard Approved Life Vest when riding (If you don't have one we can supply you with one). We also require swimming partners for swimming around the houseboat. Before your child hits the water, they will be briefed on boat etiquette, procedures and safety. Our 3-1 staff to camper ratio translates to increased that increased supervision and bonding between staff and campers.

Safety Certification?
Our staff are certified by American Red Cross in CPR(Adult, Child, Infant) and First Aid.
We are also certified by NASBLA(National Association of State Boating Law Administrators) boat safety.

To stay involved and informed with what's happening in this rapidly growing sport, our entire staff has become members of the World Wakeboard Association (WWA). This keeps us on top of progression, safety updates, and other related developments.

Up to 30 days before camp: Full refund minus your $500 deposit
Up to 15 days before camp: Full refund minus $750 rebooking fee.
No refunds will be provided within the two weeks prior to camp. During the two weeks prior to camp, it's advise to prevent your children from participating in any extremely dangerous sports that could prevent them from attending camp(ex. skateboarding, Dirking biking, Downhill mountain biking etc)

What if My Son or Daughter Hurt Themselves During Camp?
There are no refunds for leaving camp early weather it's do to injury or disciplinary issues. In all our years as a camp we've had two broken bones, three trips to the hospital for stiches, and a few minor consusions. note: Wakeboarding is a dangerous sport and serious injury is possible.

Do you have a brochure?
Instead of creating a 10 page brochure, we've concentrated most of our efforts into developing our website. However, we've produced a 20min video this year highlighting this past summer. It can be used to give you a better real world example of what goes on at camp. It also works great as a surprise present for your son or daughter.

Does your camp carry commercial insurance?
Yes, We are amoung only a handful of insured overnight wakeboard camps. Our facilities are 100% commercially insured. More importantly, in all are years in business we haven't had a single claim. Feel free to call us and as us and ask about our insurance service provider. (note: if you are another camp looking for an insurance provide; please identify yourself as such)
Parents note: There is only one commercial carrier within the industry, insuring only select elite professional oranizations. The commercial carrier will only insure organizations offering safe coaching and facilities.

Does my child need to bring their own equipment?
Only if they want to. We don't recommend brining your life vest because they tend to get left in rear hatches of our boats when campers leave. (we are fully supported with Jetpilot Personal Floatation Devices PFD's)

I’m concerned about the safety of my child
While wakeboarding is a dangerous sport, we have broken down the learning process to ensure the safest possible learning environment.  By breaking down tricks into their simplest element…then drilling each element until performed correctly…then we combining all the simple element together to learn the more complex maneuvers. Your child will be far safer learning a new trick at camp [under the supervision of our professional coaches while behind the best equipment possible] than they would be at home of with a friend.

What if my child gets homesick?
With so many things going on at camp it makes it very unlikely for kids to get homesick.  Since the start of camp we’ve only had one camper get homesick and want to go home in the beginning of the week.  As a return camper, we’ve asked her to share her story:

From Nataly Conor: Age 11 via email
"My name is Nataly Conner and last year I went to West Coast Camps Wakeboard Camp for my first time, totally excited but then when I got to the house boat... wasn't excited at all!! I was a kinda scared because it was my first time away from home. Then the coaches helped me realize that there was nothing to worry about and that I am among friends. The whole rest of the week was a blast... we had sooo much fun and I realized that there was nothing to worry about. I learned a lot of tricks like, a 180, an olie out side the wake, olie 180 and an indigrab. I went home sooo good I was almost better than my dad!! But after that I went to some wakeboard competitions and got a 1st place and a 3rd at another! The week after my 1st competition I was sponsored by Ski World USA. All of my accomplishments were made because of WCC. I plan on going to West Coast Camps again this summer and learn some tricks like a front side 180 and maybe even a 360. I hope to have these tricks nailed after the end of this summer. My advice to girls thinking about coming to camp...You may feel a little intimidated at first, but take it from someone who was, ther is nothing to worry about, you will have soo much fun and make new friends. "

What time is drop off and pick up at? Where?
(Your information packet will contain all this information as well)You should arrive at the Marina/gas dock before 11am on Monday morning, and before 1pm on Friday afternoon. Give yourself time for traffic, or any last minute delays. We'll be at the docks at approx 10:45 am on Monday. We'll board the boat's at 11 am sharp and head out to the houseboat for orientation. On friday we do our best to make it back to the dock by 1pm. We know you're anxious to see your kids by this point, so if we're a couple minutes late it's because we're trying to make sure that no one left anything important behind.
