Support the Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team

The Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team is a proud 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to providing free, family-friendly water ski shows for our community throughout the summer. Our team is made up of passionate volunteers who donate countless hours to create exciting performances that bring people together and showcase the sport of water skiing. While admission to our weekly shows is completely free, producing these events comes with significant costs. Fuel, boat maintenance, equipment, insurance, safety gear, training, and other operational expenses are all necessary to keep our team performing safely and successfully. As a small nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donors, sponsors, and community supporters to help make these shows possible. Every donation directly supports our mission and helps us continue providing high-quality entertainment for families, residents, and visitors to enjoy. If you have enjoyed our performances or would like to support the future of the Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team, please consider making a donation through the Venmo and/or Zelle link to the left. Your support helps keep our shows free for everyone and ensures that this unique community tradition can continue for years to come. Thank you for being part of the magic of the Chippewa Lake Water Ski Show Team!

Testimonial

The Chippewa Lake Water Ski Team is truly the PRIDE of Chippewa Lake. Not only are they the best competitive ski team in Ohio–they are the best family-0riented organization ever. Parents and their children, including teenagers, spend a year of quality time together with one goal of making the ski team better and better. Advanced skiers help beginners and in the process help themselves to learn the value of family, friendship and competition. They learn to have pride in themselves and their community and that makes a winning situation for the families, ski team and the community.
Keep up the great work! 

We love you. 

Chippewa Lake Mayor, Joanne Dodaro

Over 31 years of tradition

Our history as a ski team reflects dedication and a strong connection to the sport and to the community, contributing to both it's legacy and to the future generation of skiers.
