Our Deal:

Originally known as the Belleville Lake Stump Jumpers, the ski club was organized in 1970. Over the last 34 years, many club members have won state, regional, national and international water ski titles. This successful history can be attributed to the naturally protected ski site that Belleville Lake offers The group focuses on summer fun, skill education and safety awareness.

The ski club hosts several events on Lake Belleville each year, including a high flying water ski show and exhibition as a part of the annual Belleville Strawberry Festival, ski clinics, and the December Polar Bear fund raiser. With membership open to all interested, the club promotes the enjoyment of water skiing and wake boarding with safety and respect for other boaters.
