Lake Lillinonah • New Milford, CT

Real Skills. Real Confidence. Real Fun.

Our clinics are designed around one goal: giving kids a great experience on the water. We split groups by age and ability level, so every kid gets instruction that matches where they are — whether that’s their first time in the water or they’re working on their next progression.

Waterski Clinic
★★★★★

“My daughter went from terrified of the water to waterskiing independently by Tuesday afternoon. The instructors were endlessly patient and encouraging. She’s already asking when she can go back.”

Jennifer M., New Milford CT
Wakeboard Clinic
★★★★★

“My 12-year-old landed a wake jump by Thursday. The small group setting made a huge difference — the instructors really had time for each kid. Couldn’t recommend this more.”

Mark B., Woodbury CT
Kids Clinic
★★★★★

“I was nervous sending my 9-year-old — the safety briefing immediately put me at ease. The lake is calm, the crew is incredible, and my son came home beaming every single day.”

Lisa C., Washington CT
Private Clinic
★★★★★

“We booked the private full-week clinic for a group of 6 kids — absolute best decision. Each kid got individual attention and tried all four sports. Already signed up for next summer.”
