Summer Programs
Learn to row this summer! Besides our regular masters and youth programs, we also have Learn-to-Row courses for adults and Summer Row Camps for youth.
Our week-long row camps are perfect for youth athletes new to rowing. At camp, youth will learn proper rowing technique and water safety while making new friends and enjoying a new and fun activity. Youth who participate during the summer get a head start on team rowing if they choose to row during the school year.
