ROWING - BOYS

The Rowing Elite Summer Camp is designed for novices advancing in the sport. Our program prides itself on taking novice athletes and transforming them into elite oarsmen. Designed for the total beginner (from no rowing experience up to only a few weeks), this camp will help these novice rowers learn the sport, improve their skills, and gain experience in the sport of rowing. Campers will receive one on one instruction from current Wisconsin coaches and rowers to learn the fundamentals of the stroke in our state of the art moving water rowing tank and stationary rowing machines before heading out onto Lake Mendota to row in barges and 8s. Open to any and all entrants entering grades 9-12 in the Fall of 2025.
