About Camel Ski School

Camel Ski School is a watersports centre on the Camel Estuary at Rock, near Wadebridge in north Cornwall. It sits right on the water in a part of the county where the estuary shapes the day, because the tide, the weather and the sheltered stretch of river all play a part in what is possible on the water.

On the water at Rock

Camel Ski School runs its sessions from the estuary itself, so the setting is tidal water rather than a pool or an inland lake. If you are planning time on the water while staying in or around Rock, this is one of the places to look at. Because the school works on the estuary, the details that matter most are best checked with the school directly before you travel, so you know what is running when you want to go.

Around Rock and the estuary

Rock itself has plenty close by to build into the same day. The Upper Deck sits nearby, as do Rock Beach, Porthilly Cove Beach, Daymer Bay, Jutty and Brea Beach, so you can pair a session on the water with time along this stretch of coast. The estuary, the beaches and the footpaths around them make for an easy, unhurried sort of day out, whether you are on the water or simply watching it. Nearby places such as Daymer Bay and Porthilly Cove Beach are within reach of Rock, so a visit here fits neatly into a wider wander around the Camel Estuary.

Before you go

Camel Ski School has its own website at camelskischool.com, which is the place to check for what is on offer, how to book and the practical details for your visit. It is worth doing that before you set out, because sessions on tidal water can depend on conditions on the day. Then you can plan the rest of your time around Rock and the estuary with a clearer idea of what your day will look like.
