Wakeboard and Waterski Club
The Wakeboard & Waterski club is a student oriented club that gives individuals the chance to get out on the water. The school has provided the club with a 22' waterski boat to provide maximum fun in the sun. Not only do students get a chance to explore the scenic Chester River, but they have the opportunity to learn how to waterski or wakeboard. These 2 watersports are growing rapidly in MD and VA, and the school has recognized this and provided us the resources to enjoy them. We not only wakeboard and waterski, we also like to have fun and go tubing. Even if your not interested in getting in the water, come out on the boat, get a tan, just hangout.
