Free Junior Wakeboarding Campaign 2026

Wake Park Imatra and Fortum are once again offering children and teenagers aged 8–17 the opportunity to try wakeboarding completely free of charge during the summer of 2026.

This is the second year of our popular junior watersports campaign. This summer we can welcome 72 first-time participants and 24 returning riders to three special Trick Camp sessions held on Tuesdays in July.

For First-Time Riders

The Thursday sessions are intended for young people who have never tried wakeboarding before.

Our goal is to provide a safe, fun and encouraging first experience on the water. Professional instruction and all necessary equipment are included free of charge.

Trick Camps

The Tuesday Trick Camps are designed for participants who have already tried wakeboarding and would like to continue developing their skills.

The sessions focus on improving riding technique while introducing participants to carving, turning, small jumps and their first wakeboarding tricks.
