Camp Winaukee

About

Camp Winaukee in New Hampshire exists to provide a wide scope of experiences and meaningful relationships through sports and adventure, within a traditional camp setting. That describes how we build boys up, but there’s more to it — we want boys to live happy lives. Winaukee exists to provide life-changing experiences that shape a boy into a man, and direct the path his life will follow.

Waterskiing is one of the most popular activities at camp. All of our ski boats are driven by lifeguards with extensive waterski experience. Nothing beats flying behind the boat on an early summer morning when the lake is like glass in our Winaukee Bay!

Wakeboarding is one of the most popular activities at camp. All of our ski boats are driven by lifeguards with extensive waterski experience. Our boys love to get out on the water and hone their skills behind the boat. Learning to stand up on the board, cross the wake and learn more advanced elements as they progress through our program.

Kneeboarding is an excellent way for younger campers or those with less experience behind a boat to get comfortable. Boys learn what it feels like to be pulled behind a boat at a limited speed. This is a perfect ‘access sport’ to some of the more complex watersports.

Wakesurfing is a new sport that allows a camper to ‘surf’ the wake of the ski boat. Our Malibu boat sits lower in the water to create a bigger wake and the camper does not use a rope, but rather uses the momentum of the wake to follow the boat!

Paddleboarding is also extremely popular at Winaukee and is a great challenge in strength and balance! Starting in the shallow water, campers are introduced to the basics of paddleboarding and quickly become comfortable traversing around the Island campus!
