Learn-to-Row Summer Camps

2026 Junior Summer Camps

Lincoln Park Boat Club is thrilled to offer numerous Learn-to-Row camps this summer for rising 6th graders through 12th graders. This is the perfect opportunity to try a new and exciting sport before the official season kicks off in the Fall. Our five-day Learn-to-Row camps are designed for total beginners. You’ll master the basics of the rowing stroke, learn essential on-water and off-water training, and—most importantly—experience the power of working together as a team.

What to Expect

  • On-Water Instruction: Learn to handle a shell and row in sync with others.

  • Basic Training: Introduction to rowing technique and fitness.

  • Teamwork: Build confidence and leadership skills in a supportive environment.
