Learn To Row is a great chance for High School and Middle School boys and girls to try the sport of rowing for the first time.  The aim of Learn to Row is to get rowers on the water as soon as possible. They will learn about safety, both on and off the water, be able to identify boats and equipment,  and most importantly learn good rowing technique all while having fun on the water.

Row during the calm morning hours this summer and become a better rower!  This camp is offered for high school athletes (including former MSP rowers intending to join the High School program this fall). The goal is to develop technique by rowing primarily in small boats including singles, doubles, quads, and fours.  Rowers from other area programs may join this camp.  Rowers will make gains in fitness & technique while enjoying being on the lake again. Ultimately allowing them to be in a more competitive position as they enter the fall season.  This camp is 2 weeks long and utilizes the best water of the day in the early mornings!

***There is the possibility of attending the Halifax Regatta July 29/30 if the right number of rowers participate.  Regatta entry fees are not included in the price of the camp and will be assessed prior to participation at the regatta.
