We welcome youth athletes of all skill levels and abilities to join us for a fun and supportive two-week Summer Learn to Row session on beautiful Gordon Creek and the Chickahominy River. Athletes will learn rowing fundamentals and water safety while improving strength, fitness, flexibility, and coordination. Along the way, they’ll make new friends, enjoy time on the water, and experience what it means to be part of a team.
