Who We Are and How We Teach Water Skiing |
|
Water skiing at Snowy Owl is taught by Burt and Risa Jordan. Burt has been a professional water skier, coach, and competitor since 18. He has competed in trick, slalom, and water ski jump events, but he feels his strength is in taking campers from beginner to even expert levels.
A Little About Us
Dr. Burt and Risa Jordan do pediatric dental surgery, by referral, at several hospitals. They take the entire summer off to run Snowy Owl, and they teach the waterskiing.
Risa has a BS in Business and went to law school, Burt has a B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. (English Literature), a D.D.S. and Pedo Residency (Johns Hopkins), and a J.D. (Member of Mass Bar).
Our Teaching Method
Birt skis alongside a new skier, steadying her as she masters getting up out of the water and onto the water surface. When she is confident in getting up, Burt continues to ski alongside but he is only there if the camper feels unsteady.
From this point on, the basics of riding two skis, crossing the wakes, and preparing for one ski are taught. Most girls progress from beginner to one ski in just over a week. |
Our Values |
Our campers learn that loyalty is not merely a word...it is being true to each other, consistent with the values first expressed by our parents, and recognizing that we all have a responsibility to nature and the world.
Come to Snowy Owl...join with us in the fun...add what you are to what we are...the result will be even better.
