Camp Argo Youth Camp
Overview
In this week-long program, participants ranging in age from 12-18 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 fours or eights. 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.
To work together as a team is very crucial and we will emphasize this by incorporating fun games that require working together effectively. All in all, this camp experience is a great one, building self-confidence, creating new 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 highly supervised by both an experienced athlete/coach in the boat, and by a qualified coach in a well-equipped motor coach boat.
The camp day will be from 9 A.M. to 3 P.M. Please bring a lunch. We also request that water bottles be included to ensure intake of plenty of fluids during our busy day. Comfortable clothing that is suitable for the weather (jeans and cut-offs are not recommended). On rainy days, layers of clothing with a light rain jacket and extra clothes to change into are recommended. Running shoes are best. Hats and/or sunglasses and sunscreen lotion are a must.
