2022 Youth Summer Camp Overview
Marin Rowing Association is excited to announce a new format for our Youth Summer Camps starting in the summer of 2022. All athletes, ages 12 -18* are welcome to sign up for either camp this summer. Our camps welcome all gender identities. These camps are intended for non-MRA athletes to try out the sport of rowing.
* Athletes must be 12 years old by the date of the first day of their camp week.
Learn to Row Camp:
Monday - Friday 9 AM - 11:30 AM
There is zero experience necessary to enroll in this camp. Learn to Row Camp will feature foundational basics of the sweep rowing stroke in a racing 8-person shell. We will teach your athlete everything they need to know from how to carry a boat, the terminology used, basic warm-up and cool-down exercises, and teamwork. Rowing machines and stationary bikes will be incorporated into daily camp activities.
Capacity: 30 Athletes per week
Cost: $500 per week
Development Camp:
Monday - Friday 12 PM - 2:30 PM
One week of Learn to Row Camp or previous rowing experience in a boat (such as private sculling lessons, Middle School Recreational Scullers, previous summer camp experience, etc.) is required to register for Development Camp. This camp will build on the basics that were introduced in Learn to Row Camp.
Capacity: 30 Athletes per week
Cost: $500 per week
