The Future of WOW
As we adapt to the changing times, we repositioned ourselves to focus on non-motorized activities that align with our deep appreciation for nature. Today, we are dedicated to promoting the transformative power of God through canoeing, kayaking, and paddle boarding.
Taking our commitment a step further, we have embarked on a new endeavor. Our team will now craft paddles from scratch, and in the near future, even construct canoes. Through this hands-on process, we aim to not only create high-quality equipment but also test our ingenuity and push the boundaries of our abilities. Success will be measured not only by the quality of our craft but also by the impact we have on the lives we touch.
We will test our newfound skills and creations on the serene waters of the lake, as we continue to provide community, transformative experiences, and spiritual guidance while we connect with nature.
Small Beginnings
Walk On Water began in 1999 with a small group of kids gathering each week with a handful of adults who loved Jesus, kids and being on the lake. With a rich history rooted in connecting with young people through water sports, Walk On Water has been making a difference since 1999. We began our journey by using motorized watersports such as waterskiing and wakeboarding as a means to bring individuals together.
Weekly gatherings consisted of Bible study, shared meals, and time on the water, fostering meaningful connections and spiritual growth.
