Learn-to-Row Summer Camps

Our week-long summer camps welcome beginner (Novice) rowers to learn and practice the rowing stroke and boat handling skills. Initially, they will be practicing on the water in our very stable training barge and then progress to rowing in racing shells on the Oakland Estuary. The week will end with a fun race! Many students choose to attend multiple weeks to build their skills and confidence. This is also a perfect way to prepare to join Oakland United Rowing in the fall! This program is open to all rising 8th to 12th-grade students who live in Oakland and its surrounding areas.
