youth summer rowing campsEach 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. CHECK BACK IN SPRING 2025 |
