Camp Day, Step by Step

Here's Exactly What Happens

Wondering what a day at Purple Wake camp actually looks like? Here's the full picture from arrival to final ride.

1
Before Camp
Register & Complete Your Waiver

Head to our Camps page and sign up for the session that works best for you. Payment is collected securely through Square. Before the first day, complete our waiver and emergency contact form — required once per season. Spots are limited to 5 per camp, so don't wait!

Day of Camp
Arrive at Steiner Ranch Lake Club

Head to Lake Austin Steiner Ranch Lake Club, 12320 River Bend Rd. Get directions →

Arrive 10–15 minutes early so you have time to get settled and meet the crew. Wear your swimsuit, put on sunscreen before you arrive, and bring a towel and a water bottle. We'll meet you at the dock!

All Day on the Water
Surf, Wakeboard & Ride All Day

This is what camp is all about. Campers will spend the majority of the day on the Nautique G23 getting tons of runs in. The main focus is wakesurfing and wakeboarding — two of the best sports on the lake. Want to mix it up? Kneeboarding is also available for anyone who wants to give it a try. Our coaches ride with you the whole time, giving real-time feedback every single run. Whether it's your first time ever or you're looking to level up, you'll make serious progress throughout the week.

4
Fun Breaks
Swim Breaks & Rope Swinging

We keep the energy high all day — and that means taking breaks to jump in the water and cool off! Campers will have time to swim in the lake and take turns on the rope swing. These breaks are a huge hit and honestly one of the highlights of camp. It's not all business — we're out here to have the best week of the summer.

5
Midday
Lunch Is on Us

Lunch is provided every day of camp along with water and some snacks to keep everyone fueled up throughout the day. Feel free to bring your own snacks too if you have a favorite — the more the merrier. Just show up ready to ride and we've got the essentials covered.

6
Last Day
Parents Welcome on the Boat

On the final day of camp, parents are invited to come out on the boat for the last 2 hours to watch their camper show off everything they've learned. It's an awesome way to wrap up the week and see just how far they've come. Get ready to be impressed!

Which Sport is Right for Me?

Pick Your Ride

🌊
Wakesurfing

Ride a shortboard in the boat's wave — no rope once you're up. Smooth, relaxed, and incredibly fun. The most beginner-friendly of the three.

Most Popular
🏂
Wakeboarding

Feet strapped to a board, holding a rope behind the boat. More dynamic than surfing with room to progress to jumps and tricks as you improve.

Great for All Ages

All three sports are included at camp — try them all or focus on what you love most. Our coaches will help guide you!
