Learn To Row Summer Camp
The Learn to Row programs we offer this summer will be beginning the week of 6/11. We will have 6 weeks of camp, from 6/11-7/27. There will not be a camp during the week of the fourth of July from 7/2-7/6.
For each week of camp your rowers can choose from either the morning session from 8-11 or the afternoon session from 4-7.
The cost is $125 for one week, or $225 for two weeks.
We will offer a more advanced experience during week 5 and 6 for those who participate in the earlier sessions Week 5 and 5 will still offer the beginner program for our 'never-evers'. This experience allows our campers to get beyond just the basic and rudimentary skills of one week-long session.
We highly recommend that your athlete sign up for an early session and a late session for a full taste of what crew is all about. This will also help him or her be more ready for the rigors of a competitive season, if he or she chooses to continue on with rowing.

Weekly Notes
The John Hunter Regatta
This past Saturday's John Hunter Regattas was, well, absolutely marvelous. We're late getting to you because we all had to catch up on life after JHR preparations. At any rate, the sun was shining, it was not cold (although breezy at times) and we really couldn't have asked for more. Here's the Reader's Digest version of the events... as I am a Southern gal, ladies first!
Varsity Women:
The Varsity Women had an amazing showing at the John Hunter! Every rower and coxswain on the squad walked away with a medal, some with 2. Our 3V had an awesome race, their best to date. They won their race, and decidedly beat AJRA who had beaten them only 3 weeks ago. Our 2V came in 2nd in their event, behind AJ. However both coaches thought their rowing has improved in a major manner since our last scrimmage. Finally, the 1V came in 2nd to AJ as well, but made up about 7 seconds from 3 weeks prior, and came off the water very happy with their row.
In the 2V4, our top entry won their flight by open water, and posted the fastest time in the event. The 2nd 2V4 finished 4th, just 1 second behind 3rd place. Our last race of the day was the Varsity 4+. After a tight race through the 1500 m mark, the boat of Jennifer Kish, Sarah Podwojski, Jessica Hatch, Sammi Zabroske, and Erin Hayes pushed through to win by 6 seconds! It was a great day all around, and both coaches could not be more pleased and excited for the rest of the season.
Novice Women:
Great job to the Novice Women and the Hunter! With horrible winds at the start and a few changes to their race plan, they were able to keep their focus and have a great race, finishing strong with a great sprint. The girls also raced in two fours and did an amazing job! Our first four finished in fourth only a mere one second away from third, and our second boat got third and got their first medal of the season! Awesome job, ladies!!
Varsity Men:
The varsity men had several good showings on Saturday. Our fours did well across the board: our A 2V4 took third in their flight despite racing less than an hour before while our B 2V4 (or the wildcard four as I like to call them) took second and posted the third fastest time overall. The 1V4, a lightweight boat racing in an open event, won their heat easily and took second in the final despite being in the back of the pack to start. The eights had a more difficult go of it. Our A 2V 8 took 5th and our B 2V8 took third in their flights respectively. The 1V8 took fourth in a difficult final on tired legs. They did, however, soundly beat AJ. We have a lot of work between now and Regionals but the squad shows promise.
Novice Men:
The Novice Men had a strong showing in the 8 with a second place finish in their flight. They were neck and neck for third, but sealed 2nd place with a strong 10 during the last 500. In the fours, both crews finished in third place. We raced two fresh coxswains in the fours that had only coxed the week before the race due to injury.
