Yoga on the platform

Join us outdoors on our platform where a skilled instructor will lead you through a one-hour yoga session that's welcoming to all skill levels. With views overlooking the beautiful New Haven Harbor, it's a wonderful way to kick off or end your day! Restarts in May.

volunteering

As a community boating resource, the Canal Dock Boathouse relies on volunteers to augment paid staff. Volunteer opportunities range from boat maintenance to assisting in sailing courses.

Rowing on the platform

Join us on the outside platform for a full body, low impact fitness class on Concept2 RowErg machines. Build aerobic endurance and muscular strength all in one workout. With a challenging combination of classes that incorporate resistance training, rowing, and stretching, you will get the most out of your workout.

youth summer rowing camps

Each summer local high schoolers have the opportunity to learn to row.

​Taught by experienced coaches, activities include learning how to row in singles, proper equipment handling and care, water safety, land training on Concept2 RowErgs, a mixture of plyometric and stretching exercises, and technical instruction. No prior experience is necessary.

These summer camps are a great way for youth to safely explore the New Haven Harbor, Quinnipiac River and the Mill River.
