the ultimate field trip
Fun Team Building on the Black Rock Canal!
Rowing teaches lessons in collaboration, discipline and perseverance and is considered the ultimate team sport. There is nothing like the experience of working together on the water to unify a team. West Side Rowing Club (WSRC) provides you and your students a unique experience that enhances team camaraderie. In the hands of WSRC's experienced coaches, everyone, regardless of age, fitness level or previous rowing experience, learns the skills necessary to achieve a common goal and experiences the thrill of rowing an eight-oared shell on the Black Rock Canal.
Rowers face backward to propel a boat, opposite the direction of the boat. For this reason, they must trust their team leader to give them real-time, constructive feedback as they work as a group. Every movement made in a ~60-foot long eight-person shell has an effect on the speed of the shell - a performance that is enhanced by working together. In this unified environment, students must also learn to be excellent followers and followers must learn how to lead, and everyone must learn how to do this simultaneously.
As a result, your students will return to the classroom invigorated and with a new understanding of a commitment to the value of "pulling together".
Experience the Thrill of Rowing!.
