2025 Small Boats Skills Camps

Small Boats Skills Camp is a program designed to introduce rowers, with a MINIMUM OF ONE SEASON OF COMPETITIVE ROWING, to the pleasures of rowing in small boats. Participants will learn boat and oar handling techniques in a single, double, and pair. Participants will meet with WSRC Learn to Scull coaches five times per week for a 90-minute session over two weeks. LTS sessions will have a great coach to athlete ratio, ensuring the highest level of coaching instruction. ***Please note, Crew Camp and Middle School are not considered competitive programs but rather introductory programs.
