Discover Watersports & Go Wakeboarding or Waterskiing!

Guided by expert instructors from Summer Water Sports, Canada's largest watersports school, you can receive hands-on wakeboarding or waterskiing instruction "on shore." Then take that learning right onto The Lake – and try out your new skills behind Ontario's first Sesitec System 2.0!

When you arrive at the show, make your way to the east entrance to The Lake (connected to Cottage Country) to sign up. There are two one-hour sessions each day, with participation on a first-come, first-served basis.

Some experience is necessary, and boards, waterskis, dry suits and lifejackets will be provided. All you have to bring is your adventurous spirit!

Note to parents: Even with dry suits, there is no guarantee that kids will stay 100% dry. You may want to bring a bathing suit for them to wear under the dry suit.
