About the Webster Water Ski Collective

The Webster Water Ski Collective is a USA Water Ski affiliated ski club that was founded in 2019 when three friends just got together and wanted to ski and help others ski simply for the fun of it,  no drama, not politics – just go and have a good time.    Over that first season, we grew to over 30 skiers and formally incorporated into a USA Water Ski affiliated club and 501(c)3 non profit in 2020.   

In 2020, we grew to over 70 members and added our Glen Echo site in Charlton to our Collective.    2020 also saw the formation of our Adaptive Ski Program, the only such program in Massachusetts, that hosts disabled members of our community to ski with us.     Our Adaptive Ski Program stated with humble beginnings but has grown immensely over the past three seasons where we now host multiple events during the summer across multiple ponds in Central Massachusetts.    In 2022 we reached our goal of pulling over 100 disabled members of our community through our events across five different lakes and met a lot of wonderful people in the process.

Our club has the most fun doing good on the water.     We are pleased to have raised over $25,000 that has gone back to the National Brain Tumor Society and Webster-Dudley Food Share via our annual Swaterski events and we are always looking to do more with our community and share our love of skiing!
