Team Racing in the Heart of Fremont

June 5th – August 4th at the Lake Washington Rowing Club

Tuesday and Thursday 6:00-8:00pm and Saturday 8:30-10:30am

Immerse yourself in a high energy, competitive, fitness and race focused rowing camp for adult beginners. No previous rowing experience is required! Your camp will culminate with the ultimate fun challenge: a race on August 4th at the Green Lake Summer Extravaganza Regatta!

Be part of a team, supporting each other while you build strength, fitness and rowing fundamentals. You will spend most of your time sweep (team) rowing in eights, and you will also be introduced to small boat rowing and sculling (rowing on your own). Focused instruction, land workouts, and race preparation will ensure you can reach your goals!

Camp cost $200 (a $400 value)

Included in the camp cost:
• 54 hours of instruction from experienced coaches
• Race entry fee and race day coaching
• T-shirt to wear on race day
• Frank Cunningham’s book, “The Sculler at Ease”

No late starts. You must be present for the first week of camp.
Register by June 1, 2012 – Space is limited
