2013 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. A two week trial allows participants to get on the water and experience the sport and decide if it is something they may want to try again for a longer period of time.
Camps are open to male and female indivdiuals currently in or about to enter High School or 8th Grade. We also offer a camp open to individuals entering 4-7th grades: Information
Summer Learn to Row Camps (8th-12th graders):
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 four learn to row camps available through the summer. Each camp is two weeks long and meets ten 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.
