Programs · Summer
Summer rowing.
A morning rowing camp on the Norwalk River for girls in grades 7 to 12, booked by the week. Summer 2027 dates and registration go up in the spring.
Two programs
Both programs row in small boats, with a focus on technique and fitness, and plenty of fun.
Beginners
New to rowing.
For first-timers and girls on the Development Team. She’ll learn the basics in small boats from day one.
When: weekday mornings, 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM
Experienced rowers
Keep rowing all summer.
Sculling and sweep in small boats, for girls who have rowed before.
When: weekday mornings, 7:00 to 10:00 AM
In the last two weeks of June, both programs practice in the afternoon instead, at spring practice times.
How summer works
Camp usually runs from mid-June to early August. She can come for one week, a few, or the whole summer, so it fits around other sports, jobs and family trips.
She doesn’t need to row with CBC the rest of the year. Girls come from complete beginners to experienced racers.
Fall practice starts in September, and summer rowers are welcome to join the Development Team.
What to bring
- She must be a competent swimmer, able to tread water for 7 minutes.
- A hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and a water bottle.
- Running shoes and close-fitting athletic clothes.
- Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early, fed and hydrated.
