Row-For-It!™

Join the crew! Now in its 18th year, ROW FOR IT! introduces kids to the wonderful sport of crew. Rowing exercises more parts of the body than any other sport and is great for stamina and agility. Campers will learn to row first on ergs and then in WYRA’s state-of-the-art indoor rowing tanks before rowing on the Christina River in 60’ racing shells, always accompanied by a coach in a motorized launch. Our skilled and caring staff provides fun on and off the water.

All rowers receive a red ROW FOR IT! t-shirt and will take part in races and a cook-out for family and friends on the last day of camp.

Dates: June 28 to July 15

  • Morning session:  10am to 12pm
  • Afternoon session:  1pm to 3pm
