2009 Summer Learn to Row Camps
Three Rivers Junior Rowing offers year-round programs. For information about registering for rowing programs offered during the school year, please proceed to TRJR.
There is no doubt that summer is a special season for rowing in Pittsburgh and this will be an excellent time to discover a new sport. Junior Rowing Summer Camp is the perfect opportunity to build skills required to row at a competitive level.
Camps are open to male and female rowers currently in or about to enter High School or 8th Grade.
Summer Learn to Row Camps:
The Summer Learn to Row Camps are for participants who want to learn how to row. Emphasis is on technique refinement, exercise, and the joy of summer rowing. There are three Level 1 Camps available through the summer. Each camp is two weeks long and meets eight times. The first few days will be spent learning on the ergometers (rowing machines) and in the rowing tanks to teach beginner members the terminology, water safety, equipment, and rowing technique. After successful completion of the introduction, the camp will practice together and scrimmage on the water.
Level 1 Camps
- Session 1: June 15 - June 26
- Session 2: July 6- July 17
- Session 3: July 20 - 31
- Practices: Mon, Tues, Wed, Thur 9:00 - 12:00 PM
- Cost: $210 per session
