Junior Rowing
Middle & High School Novice Summer Rowing
The goal of our summer programming is to introduce new rowers to the fundamentals of rowing and develop a solid foundation of the sport in a fun, supportive environment. Athletes can then build upon these skills in subsequent summer sessions and fall rowing. Try one, two, or all three sessions to really get a feel for the sport of rowing!
