Youth Crew is hosting its annual Learn to Row Summer Camp next month.  All rising middle and high school students are welcome to come out to learn the basics of crew rowing in this week long camp.  Sessions will run from 7:30 - 10:30 am, Monday thru Friday.  The introductory session (Mon.) will include some land work on rowing machines, followed by crew rowing in a team boat.  All participants should wear athletic attire (including socks) and bring water.  Shoes are attached to the boats, so socks are a must.  Shorts should not be too loose fitting (like basketball shorts) because they will get caught in the seat tracks on the boats.  Please contact Coach Saundra Weston at hscoach@rowccrc.org for more information.  

CCRC is a community-based non-profit organization dedicated to teaching and promoting the sport of crew rowing.  We've taught hundreds of area students and adults the skills and discipline of rowing.

Rowing is a technical sport that engages the mind and the body.  It involves a high level of teamwork when rowing with a crew.  Trust and camraderie are built and many 'forever friendships' are forged in the boat.  Because rowing is a full body workout, it can help you achieve a level of fitness you never thought possible with a low-impact activity.  The technical aspect of rowing means you will continually learn and improve your skill set with each outing.  This performance improvement curve usually motivates rowers to continue rowing and growing.
