Albany Rowing Center's Youth Summer Rowing Camp teaches athletes ages 12-18 about the sport of rowing in a fun educational setting on the Hudson River. Campers learn basic sweep and sculling techniques, water and boat safety, good rowing machine practices, land training, camaraderie, and the importance of teamwork. All while enjoying the Hudson River from a completely new perspective. You may even spot a heron, cormorant, or an eagle or two!
All participants must know how to swim and complete the swim test certification before the first practice. Note that rowers do not wear life jackets in the boat. The coaching launch is equipped with life jackets for every rower.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing that can get wet or dirty. Avoid baggy shirts, shorts or pants that could get stuck on the oar handles or the sliding seat. Shoes are not worn in the boat, so be sure to wear durable socks. Rowing is a water sport and it is easy to get wet, so bring a change of clothes.
Camp runs 9am-12pm, Monday-Friday, June 16- August 15., $275/session, registrations are limited, feel free to sign up for a couple of weeks. Those who complete two weeks of camp may be eligible to join our Youth Rowing program. Albany Rowing Center - Youth Summer Camp
