Summer

Camps 2012 The purpose of this document is to provide more information about options for summer rowing camps. There are tons of camps, and this is definitely not an exhaustive list, but hopefully it will help you make some decisions if your daughter is interested in continuing to row this summer. There are several factors to consider when looking at rowing camps: length of camp, cost, location, exposure to college coaches, racing experience, etc. Ive tried to include camps in each region of the country, as well as short-term and long-term camps. With each camp that Ive listed, there is also a link to their website so you can get detailed information and begin the application process. If you would like some advice specifically for your daughter, please feel free to send me an email (low508@gmail.com).
