If I'm sending my child for a week, how much money would they need?
At Sunset Lakes, we believe in creating a well-rounded and memorable experience both on and off the water. Throughout the week, we take students on fun outings that may include (but are not limited to):
🎬 Movies
🛍️ Shopping trips
🏎️ Go-karting
⛳ Mini golf
🎳 Bowling
🎯 Paintball
We also make scheduled trips to the grocery store so students can stock up on snacks, drinks, and any other personal items they may need during their stay.
Weekend Activities
If your child is staying over a weekend, we typically plan a group outing to one of Central Florida’s world-renowned theme parks — a favorite among our students!
Please Note:
Meals are not provided on Saturdays or Sundays, so we recommend sending your child with at least $50–$100 for weekend meals, activities, and personal expenses.
If your child needs additional funds during their stay, we’re happy to assist. Any additional expenses can be added to your final bill for convenience.

Is there a pick up/drop off fee from the airport?
We offer airport transportation for a standard fee of $75 each way for arrivals and departures within our designated time window.
We understand that finding the best possible flight may sometimes mean arriving or departing outside of typical hours. In such cases, a $150 fee each way will apply for:
Arrivals after 10:00 PM
Departures before 8:00 AM
Please note: A taxi or rideshare (e.g., Uber/Lyft) typically ranges from $120 and up one way, and may not accommodate oversized bags such as 3-event ski equipment.
If transportation is required for an Unaccompanied Minor, the fee is $150 each way. In compliance with airline policies, our staff must meet the minor at the gate upon arrival and remain at the gate until departure boarding is complete.
We are happy to assist in making your arrival and departure as smooth as possible. Please contact us in advance to coordinate your travel plans.
Is your ski school only for advanced skiers?
You’d be surprised how often we’re asked this — and the answer is a resounding yes!
At Sunset Lakes, we welcome skiers of all ages and experience levels, from first-timers to seasoned competitors. There’s something incredibly rewarding about working with beginners — whether it’s helping someone get up on skis for the very first time, or guiding them through their first successful pass on the slalom course.
We take pride in creating a supportive, encouraging environment where new skiers can build confidence, learn proper technique, and most importantly — have fun. Watching that smile light up when it all clicks is one of the best parts of what we do.
Introducing people to the joy of waterskiing is part of our mission. Our hope is that after just one visit, you’ll be just as hooked as we are — and keep coming back for more time on the water.
Do you offer any coaching off site?
Can’t make it to Sunset Lakes? No problem — we bring the coaching to you.
We proudly offer off-site coaching options for skiers who want to stay connected and continue improving, no matter where they are. Whether you're looking for expert feedback from afar or personalized instruction on your home lake, we’ve got you covered.
📹 Virtual Video Coaching (Coming Soon!)
We're currently developing a video analysis program that allows you to send in your ski footage for expert review. Our coaches will analyze your technique and provide personalized feedback to help you fine-tune your form and performance — all from a distance. It’s a perfect solution for skiers who want guidance between visits or live far away.
