Clear Lake Ski Club (CLSC) and Ski School Capital Campaign

Celebrating over sixty years of tradition, the CLSC continues to thrive with over sixty youth members annually. Our youth experience summers building and performing the annual ski show, hosting community events, and participating in teambuilding and social activities.

The CLSC fosters the development of lifelong friendships and the appreciation of continuing the special legacy of the Clear Lake Community. Additionally, our Ski School provides a unique opportunity for Clear Lake youth to develop and experience water sports disciplines not available otherwise. The Ski School will continue to teach our members show skiing, pyramid building, ballets, crosses, jumping, barefooting, riding a disc, air chair, and more.

The Ski School accepts financial donations to upgrade and maintain its equipment. If you would like more information on how to contribute please contact one of the advisors listed below.

 
2025 Ski Club Information

The Clear Lake Ski Club had a great 65th Anniversary Show last year. Now it is time to look forward to 2025. If Ski Club is something your kids might be interested in but haven't joined yet, come check us out next summer!

Our first meeting will be Memorial Day weekend. If you can't make it then, come to any meeting to learn more or get in touch with Trey McArdle, Amy Culler or either of the Co-Presidents. There are two mandatory meeting dates you need to attend if you want to perform in the show: Ski Show run through on July 19th and The Clear Lake Ski Show on July 26th.
 
The Ski Club is a great place to meet the other kids on the lake. Yes, we encourage the kids to come to all the Ski Club meetings (and do so with Tom's Doughnuts) but all meetings aren't mandatory. The basic format early on is to find an act(s) your child would like to do in the show, find time to practice with the other members of the act, and then perform that act in both the run through and the actual show.

The Ski Club is more than a show Ski Club. It has a social aspect as well. It is where you meet other kids on Clear Lake. Sometimes the magic of the club is what happens after the meetings. My kids are often requesting other kids come over to our house or come skiing with us after the Ski Club meeting. Kids and parents alike form friendships. Meetings are typically 10 AM on Saturdays during the last week or two of June and every Saturday in July leading up to the Ski Show.

Depending on the year, we arrange different social events, including a movie night and the legendary scavenger hunt. We hope you will join us in 2025 to learn new skills on the water and meet new families.
 
Ski Club is for kids just beginning to do water sports thru high school.

If you know of a family that would like to get involved, please contact Brett Buehrer, CLSC Coordinator, at bbuehrer@oconnorcp.com for more information on how to join the Club.

We hope to see you in 2025!
