YOUTH ROWING CAMP
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Youth Rowing Camp program is a great way for youth ages 10-15 to learn about rowing. No experience is required. Campers learn everything about rowing, from boat handling to stroke technique. For those who have already tried and enjoyed rowing, camp is a way to improve their skills!
The week-long camps are broken down into an orientation session and swim test, on-water rowing sessions (2 each day, weather permitting), off-water instructional sessions and camp-style games and activities.
Youth will be supervised by experienced coaches who are qualified in first aid and CPR. When on the water, coaches drive alongside the rowing shells in a fully equipped motorized coach boat that includes life jackets, a whistle and cell phone, and other safety equipment. Coach: youth ratio of 1:5.
