Each camp is one week long (Monday through Saturday) and is held at the Fairport Boathouse in Perinton Park. For Summer 2025 we will offer 2 one week evening sessions–one in July and one in August. Each session is contingent on enough participants registering so ideally recruit friends to participate as well. Registration will be available in early May.
Monday, July 14 – Saturday, July 19
Times: Mon-Fri evening and Saturday morning
Monday, August 4 – Saturday, August 9
Times: Mon-Fri evening and Saturday morning
Registration should be available May 1st.
Students will learn the fundamentals of rowing on rowing machines and in a boat. This one-week program is open to all area youth, entering grades 7 through 12 to learn the sport of rowing! A session usually concludes with a mini-race on Saturday morning.
This program is run and coached by Fairport Crew Club coaches and is a great introduction for youth considering rowing competitively.
Please note that Fairport Crew Club is open to all surrounding communities and is not affiliated with a school.
