Summer 2026 Programs

Work Hard. Laugh Often. Make It a Summer to Remember.

Summer rowing is different — and that’s the magic of it.
No school stress. No exams. No rushing from class to practice. Just long days on the water, strong training, and the chance to focus on  getting better while having a whole lot of fun.Our Summer Racing Team is for athletes who want to keep building speed — but also want to enjoy the rhythm of summer: relaxed mornings, team bonding, and new friendships across the rowing community.

Pre-Season Rowing Camp

Build speed. Refine technique. Gain boat confidence.

Our Pre-Season Rowing Camp is designed for experienced athletes who want to sharpen their technical skills, increase fitness, and gain valuable small boat experience before the racing season begins.

This is focused, high-quality training intended to accelerate development and prepare athletes to step into the season stronger, more confident, and more technically sound.

Who It’s For
Experienced rowers ready to improve technically, train seriously, and get ahead before the season.

Why It Matters
Pre-season sets the foundation — better technique, stronger racing, more confidence.
