Summer Rowing

Summer 2027 dates and registration will be posted in the spring.

Who it’s for

Girls in grades 6 to 12, from complete beginners to experienced racers. She doesn’t need to row with CBC the rest of the year.

How it works

Summer camp usually runs from mid-June to early August. It’s booked by the week, so she can come for one week, a few, or the whole summer. Girls row in smaller boats and work on technique and fitness, in both sculling and sweep rowing.

When we practice

  • Learn to Row (beginners and Development): weekday mornings, 9 AM to noon
  • Experienced rowers: weekday mornings, 7 to 10 AM
  • The last two weeks of June meet in the afternoon, at spring practice times

Before she comes

  • Every rower must be a competent swimmer, able to tread water for 7 minutes.
  • Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, a water bottle, running shoes and close-fitting athletic clothes.
  • Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, fed and hydrated.
