At Mary Quinlan Park, on the south shore of the lake at 705 S Quinlan Park Rd in Austin, Texas, Grom Camp — Spring Break 2026 turns a week of school-free days into a high-energy immersion in wakesurfing and lake play. Designed for kids ages 7–14, the camp runs March 16–19 and delivers four hours on the water every day with focused coaching, safety-first instruction, and small-group attention.
Each morning the group meets at Mary Quinlan Park before boarding for structured sessions of wakesurfing, lake games, and skill drills. Coaches provide all watersport gear including USCG‑approved life jackets, surfboards, sunscreen, and a stocked cooler, while a captain and instructor team—highlighted by experienced coach Alex Price—keep activities progressive and safe. With a strict cap of seven kids per day, instructors tailor lessons to beginners and more advanced riders so every camper leaves with new skills and growing confidence.
Beyond wakesurfing, days include relaxed breaks at Ski Shores Cafe where campers receive a lunch stipend for the kids menu, plus pickleball and shore-side games that balance adrenaline with downtime. Staff emphasize water safety, goal-setting, and group teamwork so parents get peace of mind while kids make friends and gain real on-water competence.
What makes this program stand out in Austin’s outdoor scene is the combination of concentrated coaching, female-led staff, and a lake setting that favors wakesurf progressions: gentle wake windows, shallow teaching zones, and consistent shore access for quick feedback loops. The small group size and all-inclusive setup remove logistics friction for families—no gear to rent, no worrying about meals, just drop-off and pickup.
