Summer Youth Experienced Rowing

Our Experienced Rowing camps are appropriate for experienced rowers who are looking to improve both technique and fitness during the summer break. The first two camps are open to all rowers and good attendance is encouraged but not mandatory. The third camp is intended to prepare rowers who will join the SRA experienced racing team in the fall, and registration priority will be given to these athletes. Prerequisites for all classes: completion of at least one season of experienced junior rowing OR completion of one spring season of competitive novice rowing OR completion of at least two sessions of junior recreational rowing. All summer classes are run Monday – Friday.

Camp #1: Tech Prep

This two-week course will focus on technique, working in a variety of rowing shells. Rowers should expect to practice in both sweep and sculling boats, with an emphasis on drills, video review and technical workout pieces. This is an ideal camp for former novice rowers who are joining the experienced team for the first time and want to improve their blade work and form, and for returning experienced rowers who want to keep their skills sharp

Camp #2: Race Prep

This three-week course is designed to give rowers a chance to focus on all aspects of race preparation: coaches will help rowers learn to mentally prepare for competition using visualization techniques and tips & video from elite-level rowers, as well as physically prepare for the Greenlake Summer regatta on August 4th. The cost for the Greenlake regatta is NOT included in the class fee. All experienced rowers are welcome to attend this camp; participation in the Greenlake summer regatta is highly encouraged as the camp will focus on this event.

Camp #3: Pre-Season Training

This highly focused camp is intended to get rowers back in shape in preparation for fall competition (which will start August 28, 2012.) Rowers in this camp can expect challenging workouts both on and off the water. Morning practice will be at the SRA boathouse and will focus mainly on water training and will be open to anyone. Afternoon practice will be limited in size and offered to a select group of rowers. The rowers chosen to participate will be based off of space availability as well as coach discretion. The afternoon sessions will most likely be off-site, at a location determined by the coach. Focus will be on getting back into shape as well as team building, so participants should be prepared for both hard work and fun! A detailed practice schedule will be emailed to all registered participants two weeks before the camp begins. Class size is limited so sign up early.
