Overview 

In this week-long program, participants ranging in age from 10 to16 will learn the basic technical aspects of sweep rowing. They will be given both on-land training using rowing machines and on-water experience in crews of four or eight. They will learn basic rowing terms and the importance of “crew” rowing. More advanced rowers will be able to fine-tune their technique in both sweep rowing and sculling.

Teamwork is crucial in rowing. We emphasize this by incorporating fun games that require working together effectively. The Camp Argo experience builds self-confidence, develops skills and above all, new friendships.

Our club is located on the Western Beaches of Toronto and offers excellent rowing conditions along the breakwater-protected course.  Camp participants will be supervised by both an experienced athlete/coach in the boat and by a qualified coach in a well-equipped motorized coach boat. 

The camp day runs from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
