Camp Water Day Rentals
The day campers talk about all summer. And the one with the most logistics to get right.
Water day is the highest-demand rental in our calendar, and July is when every camp wants it. Water slides book out first and earliest.
Two things decide whether it works: a hose within 50 feet of the setup spot (some units need multiple hookups) and whether your camp's policy allows water play. Sort both before you pick a date.
What to rent for water day
- Water slides. The main event. Single or double lane — double doubles your throughput, which matters when a whole camp rotates through in one day.
- Wet combo units. Bounce plus slide, good for younger groups who find a full slide intimidating.
- Slip-style units for the biggest groups — highest turnover of anything wet.
- One dry unit as a break. Not every camper wants to be soaked all day, and it gives you somewhere to send kids who forgot a swimsuit.
- Dunk tank if you want counselors in it, which campers will remember longer than the slide.
Check your water access before you book the date
The single most common problem with camp water days: the only spigot is on the wrong side of the building. Wet units need a working hose within 50 feet of where the unit will sit, and some units need more than one hookup. We rent splitters, but we can't move your plumbing. Walk the site with a hose before you commit.
Running the day
- Rotate by group. Whole-camp free-for-all on a water slide is a supervision problem. Blocks by age group work better and keep the line short.
- Wet units get slippery. One monitor per unit is a minimum, not a target. Brief counselors on no running on the deck and one rider at a time.
- Separate wet and dry. Water tracked into a dry unit makes it dangerous.
- Sun. Water day is a July event in New Orleans. Shade for the queue, not just the unit, and drinking water.
The practical stuff
- Water: hose within 50 feet, splitters available.
- Power: dedicated 20 amp circuit per blower within 100 feet, or generators from us — one per inflatable.
- Surface: grass staked, blacktop sandbagged. Note that wet units on grass make mud — plan the location accordingly.
- Insurance: certificate naming your camp or facility at 4.5% of the order.
- Rules: one monitor per unit, ages 3 and up, 200 lb per rider.
- Booking: July water days should be locked in by March.
Common questions
What does a water slide need from us?
A working hose within 50 feet of the setup spot. Some units need multiple hookups — we bring splitters.
When do we need to book a July water day?
By March. Water slides are the first thing to sell out every summer.
Can we do water on blacktop?
Yes, sandbagged. It's often better than grass, which turns to mud under a wet unit.
How do we supervise it safely?
Rotate by age group, one monitor per unit minimum, one rider at a time on slides, and keep wet and dry units apart.
