Summer Programs
1) LEARN TO ROW
New to this year: EVENING SESSIONS!
Our Learn to Row programs are designed for students entering grades 6-11 in the Fall of 2025 who are new to rowing as well as returning athletes who have taken a LTR session before. This is not for competitive rowers. Sign up for as many you want!
LEARN TO ROW LEVEL 1 is for those interested in getting a taste of what crew is all about and learning the basics of rowing. No rowing experience is necessary to join this camp!
LEARN TO ROW LEVEL 2 is for those who have previously taken a LTR camp, and are ready to continue the development of their rowing skills and fine-tuning their technique.
Both LTRs are a four-day program, two hours per day. Each week, Friday will be reserved as a "rain date". If practice is canceled due to EXTREME weather, we will attempt to reschedule for that Friday. Please keep in mind that we row in the rain!

4) Summer Swing is back!
CJRC's weekly Summer Swing rowing program is for athletes with at least one season of competitive racing experience from any club or school, including alumni! Learn to Row experiences do not count as competitive seasons. The concept is simple: Show up for your session, hop into a boat, and get coached on technique. This program is perfect for those who are busy with other summer plans but would like to continue their rowing development and hone their skills. There is no race attached to this summer program.
