Rowing is the ultimate team sport. No one is a bench warmer. Everyone rows and everyone races.
Summer rowing camps open to all youngsters 10-16, but especially targeted at inner city “at-risk” youth.
Held in the fall every year and sponsored by the Wilmington Youth Rowing Association.

Alex Petrillo, Greg Pape and Nathan Smith went to the four-day Navy Crew Camp at the Naval Academy on June 28 - July 2, 2009. Rowers came from all parts of the country, the northeast, mid-Atlantic and some as far as Florida and Texas. Overall the camp was very good excluding that you had to wake up around 5 AM for a morning row every day. The best part of the camp was probably the fact that all the coaches had very decorated records like going to the Olympics, being on National Teams, or coaching people that have done both of those.
Coach Mark Muzzi announces a special rowing camp for girls with advanced rowing skills who want competitive opportunities during the summer. This is a new program for WYRA and should be both exciting and challenging with excellent preparation for the coming season.
