The tuition deposit of $1,475 per week is fully refundable until April 01. After that date we do not issue refunds for any reason.

Where do campers live?

Water Monkey Camp operates out of a private complex on the shores of Merrymeeting Lake. There are 5 cabins – each has 2 or 3 bedrooms – where campers sleep. Each camper gets a bed and a cubby for their clothes. Every cabin has a full bathroom with hot water (bathrooms were fully renovated in 2022!). Counselors live in the cabins with the campers to make sure everyone is safe and comfortable around the clock.

What boats do you use?

We operate two boats which we replace each season. For 2024 we have a 2024 SUPRA SV450 and a 2024 SUPRA SV400. These boats are super versatile, giving us the capability to not only pump a big wake but also fine-tune it to each rider/surfer/skier so that our campers can get the most out of their time at camp.

what do campers need to pack?

Here is our recommended packing list. We do not allow campers to have cell phones and ask that they stay home or we will check them in at the office for the duration of their stay. Campers may not bring pocket knives, lighters/matches, alcohol/drugs/tobacco. 

Do campers need to bring their own gear?

We have all of the best equipment for campers of any size or ability to have a great time and improve their skills. Some campers do choose to bring their own gear that they are already comfortable with or hope to get comfortable with. Because we have great gear for our campers to use we are not responsible for your equipment getting damaged, lost, stolen or otherwise wrecked.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY CAMPER WILL BE SAFE?

Safety is our number one concern at camp. Our staff is trained and certified to make sure that campers are safe both in and out of the water. Our small size of 18 campers per week max allows us to maintain a superior level of supervision and attention to each of our campers and ensure that they do not engage in risky behavior and follow camp rules and counselor instructions.

Who are your instructors / counselors?

They are guys and girls between 18 and 25 who share your passion for watersports. We have a minimum ratio of one counselor to every three campers. Our staff members are all required to be certified lifeguards and go through background checks and in-person interviews before joining WMC.

my camper has a food allergy is that ok?

Our chef prepares all of our meals from scratch each day. As long as you let us know about any dietary requirements in advance we can 100% accommodate. 

How many campers are there per week?

Each week we welcome a minimum of 10 campers and a maximum of 18. The age range is 9 to 17, boys and girls.

What if a camper shows up not knowing anyone?

Most campers come to camp not knowing anyone. Our counselors are experts in ice-breakers and games to get everyone to know each other on the first night so that the rest of the week we are like a big, happy family.

What if a camper speaks a language other than English?

¡No problemo! A lot of our teaching is done with hand signals and gestures and we will make sure our campers – regardless of their native tongue - are all safe and happy when not on the boat as well.

What if a camper is not as experienced as other campers in a sport?

WMC welcomes skiers and riders of any ability. Instructors will work with you from whatever level you are at and send you home having improved your skills and hopefully learned some new ones!

Are there any activities other than watersports?

While watersports (including wakeboarding, waterskiing, wakesurfing and wake skating) are the focus of WMC, we fill whatever downtime we have with land-based activities, fun and enrichment.

What other facilities are at the camp location?

Also on our 3 acre lakefront property is a multi-sport field, clubhouse for group chilling, sandy beach and more!

What happens if it rains?

Rain happens...it is a fact of life in New Hampshire. We will carry on with lessons on the boat as long as there is no thunder/lightning. If there is, we go to rainy day mode and have some fun!

Can I pay with a credit card? Is there a fee?

We do accept credit cards for a 3% fee.

Do you offer airport transport?

We are able to schedule camper pick-ups/drop-offs at nearby airports, train stations, bus stations, or other camps.

i. Boston (BOS) round-trip transportation is $400

ii. Manchester (MHT) round-trip transportation is $200
