Summer Camps

2023 Summer Programs

Learn To Row

“Learn to Row” is geared toward first-time 6th-12th graders, with an introduction to rowing via sculling (2 oars per rower). Sculling is the best way to learn to row and is typically easier for younger rowers. Rowers may also learn to sweep. All aspects of introductory rowing will be covered, including boat handling, basic rowing, basic body conditioning, and some video review. Learn-to-Row rowers can sign up for multiple camps to gain even more skill as the summer progresses. Rowers will be grouped together by age and skill so middle schoolers will row separately from high schoolers.
