Michigan Winter Kiteboarding Camp

Michigan Winter “Snow Pro” Kiteboarding Camp

This camp is the perfect introduction to the sport of kite snowboarding. Whether you are an experienced on the water kiteboarder or completely new to the snow, this camp will fit your needs. The course is specifically designed to get people into this fun and safe sport over a two-day instructional format. The school is equipped with snowmobiles and safety gear to assist you as you get your first rides in the powder!

These camps will be run like all Broneah Kiteboarding Michigan camps on Saturday and Sunday from 11am until about 6pm. That’s two full days of instruction, giving you the ultimate intro into this great sport!

LOCATION
The camp is based out of the Broneah Kiteboarding Headquarters in downtown Traverse City; from there we will take you to various coaching locations of Northern Michigan depending on conditions. We have thoroughly explored this vast snow-belt region and have found many kiteboarding spots within a 20 mile radius of the shop that are all just as good as the next. Each of these spots has certain wind directions that work best, and we will be sure to take you to the proper place for the camp.

Traverse City is easily accessable from the entire Midwest Region including Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Madison, Milwaukee, Duluth, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Fort Wayne, Toledo, Columbus, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Toronto Canada.

ACCOMMODATIONS
Traverse City offers a variety of accommodation options; from five star resorts to camping on the beach of Lake Michigan. If you are looking for a place to stay in Traverse City check out:

PLAN
All Traverse City Snow Kiteboarding Camps will be done on weekends, meaning be ready to meet at the Broneah Kiteboarding shop by 11AM on Saturday. Saturday evening we will plan a group meeting at Broneah Kiteboarding and discuss the day’s events, watch videos, grab some grub, and have some fun. On Sunday we will plan on meeting at 11AM and once again, work the entire day on progressing your skills.

If this is your first time getting introduced to the sport, then don’t worry about a thing, Broneah will provide you with all the gear you will need for the weekend. If you are coming for an advanced lesson, please bring all your current kiteboarding gear so we can help you to dial it in and make sure its right for you. This is the ultimate camp for any newcomer into the sport that is serious about getting going as fast as possible.

EXPECTATIONS
Those of you who currently kiteboard understand that the sport is completely weather dependent; unfortunately we cannot control Mother Nature. In order to kiteboard, you have to have wind. We have traveled thousands of miles to go kiteboarding in places that “always blow” but have been without wind for weeks on end. It is just part of the sport. We will work with whatever we get, whether its 30 knots or rain, we will make the best of it. Just come with that in mind and know that we try to do as best we can to make sure the conditions look good prior to the camp.

Prepare to meet other kiteboarders in your camp that could potentially become life-long friends. We have been organizing these kiteboarding camps for many years now, and in this time have met some incredible people. Expect to learn and to share priceless memories with students of all types.

RESERVATIONS
If you’re interested in attending the Michigan “Snow Pro” Kiteboarding Camp you need to reserve your spots ASAP. All you need to do is pick which weekend works best for you and reserve your spot. Spots at the Kite Camp are very limited so the sooner you reserve the better chance you have of getting the dates you would like. We have set up the camp so the student to teacher ratio will never be more than 3:1.
