LOCAL SUMMER and FALL PROGRAMS

Occoquan Rowing Summer Rowing on the Occoquan

Summer blowout sale! We are offering four weeks of rowing at a reduced cost of just $250. This is the most economical way for your kids to continue their training and skill development throughout the summer months. We have access to top level equipment and a very experienced coaching staff. The focus of the program will be sweep rowing, with some limited access to sculling boats. The program will be coached by a number of current Division I rowers, representing programs such as UVA, William and Mary, George Mason and the University of Alabama, which will provide your kids with the added bonus of hearing first hand what rowing in college involves.

There are two 4 week sessions being offered, which are detailed below:
The camps will run weekly, Monday – Thursday from 6pm – 8pm
Camp #1
