Youth Rowing Camp
WHAT IS IT?
The Youth Rowing Camp is a fun and engaging way for youth ages 10–15 to discover the sport of rowing—no experience needed! Campers learn everything from boat handling to stroke technique, building confidence and teamwork along the way. For returning rowers, it’s a great opportunity to refine skills and deepen their love for the sport. Each week-long camp includes an orientation and swim test, two daily on-water sessions (weather permitting), off-water instruction, and plenty of camp-style games and activities.

The YRC runs in 7 week-long sessions during the summer season. The campers will meet from 9am to 4pm
