Middle School Learn-to-Row Camp

New to rowing? Perfect.

Our Middle School Learn-to-Row Camp is a five-day program designed for beginners who want to try a new sport and have fun on the water. Whether your child is a rising 6th, 7th, or 8th grader, they’ll learn the basics of rowing in a supportive and encouraging environment—no experience needed.

For many kids, this is their first introduction to rowing. It’s more than just a week on the water—it’s a chance to build confidence, stay active, and experience the power of teamwork in a fun, low-pressure setting.
