Scholastic Rowing Camp
July 21 to 31,
Mon.-Thurs., 9am to noon, $100 per week.
Rowing offers High School students the opportunity
to learn about teamwork, commitment, dedication and strength training.
It also gives them the opportunity to be involved and compete
in Scholastic Rowing Regattas regionally and
throughout the East Coast. Many student rowers who excel at the sport
are able to attain scholarships to Ivy League and top colleges
throughout the United States and Europe. This is an excellent
opportunity for students to try the sport out, and get ready for our
Fall Scholastic Rowing Program (see below).

Inaugural Realmark Corporate Rowing Challenge on February 24,
2008. This was the club's first major fundraiser. Five local
businesses and organizations came to race and win the gold! The
docks and lawn were crowded with hundreds of spectators. The winner this
year was CDM, a local engineering firm. The Award plaque designed by
Sparhawk Model Oars, hangs at Rumrunner's Restaurant and can be seen on
Sparhawk's web site.
