New England Water Ski Collective

The New England Water Ski Collective is dedicated to expanding access to water sports across the region, with a strong commitment to inclusive and adaptive programming. Through its adaptive water skiing offerings, the Collective creates opportunities for individuals with physical, sensory, and cognitive disabilities to experience the freedom, confidence, and community that come with being on the water.

With a team of trained volunteers, specialized equipment, and a focus on safety and individualized support, the Collective welcomes athletes of all abilities—whether they are trying the sport for the first time or building on years of experience. Adaptive skis, sit-skis, and customized instruction allow participants to progress at their own pace while celebrating every milestone along the way.

More than just a day on the water, the New England Water Ski Collective fosters a supportive environment where athletes and families can connect, grow, and challenge expectations. By removing barriers and emphasizing possibility, the Collective is helping redefine what participation in water sports looks like—ensuring that everyone has the chance to get out on the water and thrive.

Mission Statement:

The New England Water Ski Collective is committed to expanding access through adaptive programming, promoting safe and responsible participation, fostering sportsmanship and connection, and encouraging stewardship of our waterways—honoring the role they play in our local history, culture, and environment.
