2026 CAMP DATES + COSTS

A spring, summer, or fall of routine (3+ days/week) on-the-water rowing or coxing with a club or school team. 

While most of our experienced campers will likely have race experience, it is not a requirement for camp. 

One or more learn-to-row camps or clinics does not satisfy this requirement. 

They're really the same great camps with the same goals, similar schedule, and same camper profile... the 4-day option just offers campers a shorter week if that works better for their schedule. It's a good option for campers who can't get away for as long (work, vacation, summer training) or who might just want a shorter overnight experience (5 days can be a lot for a first overnight camp, especially our younger campers!).

An additional perk of the 4-day camp is the USNA Plebes will have arrived so there will be some extra buzz around the Yard, giving campers a special glimpse into what summer at a service academy truly looks like. 

If you have taken a learn-to-row course or similar basic training but will not have had a full season with a formal team/program by the start of camp, you are only eligible for our June 28 - July 1 Learn-to-Row Camp. The reason for this is that 1-2 weeks of introductory training is just not the same as 2-3 months of routine rowing & racing; campers with only prior camp/clinic experience are rarely able to keep up with the volume and skill expectations of our experienced boats. 

Instead, our Learn-to-Row campers with prior camp/clinic experience will be grouped with other campers of similar ability to continue advancing their skills and better prepare them to join a school or club program after camp. There will be a refresher of the basics (as most campers will not have done a camp since last summer), but the camp experience for this group should build upon their previous camp/clinic experience rather than just repeat what they have already learned.
