Learn to Row

Free Learn to Row Day

Learn to Row Day is an annual, free program that most member clubs of US Rowing offer.

To see when we offer sessions, check our event calendar.

Participants will be introduced to sculling on shore and then they try it out in a recreational shell. This event is free and open to the public. We welcome everybody: children and adults, experienced and brand new. We hope that everybody gets the opportunity to try this fun and challenging sport.

Participants meet at the BCR Boathouse, in the North Cove past the boat launch. Go to the far end of the parking lot and follow the path down to the left.
