Cal Women’s Rowing Camp

HIGH PERFORMANCE CAMP

• Ages: 13-18
• Grades: 9-12

This camp is ideal for experienced rowers with at least one racing season completed who would like to take their rowing to the next level and experience what it is like to row at an elite Division I university. This camp is specifically designed to cover the breadth of rowing with a focus on skill development. There will be in-depth lectures and discussions of the rowing stroke, training regimens, and racing tactics. Coxswains will be given individual feedback and the opportunity to review recordings of their calls. There will be two practices, one starting at 7:00am and one starting at 11:30am with about an hour break from 10:30am-11:30 am. The first practice will be on the water and the second practice will either be another row, an erg/land workout, or a campus tour.

COLLEGE ROWING PREP CAMP

• Ages: 13-18
• Grades: 9-12

Develop your small boat skills to prepare for collegiate rowing! We will focus on technique, coordination and boat feel in pairs and singles and how to transfer those skills to bigger boats. This camp is intended for athletes who have at least two years of rowing experience, with at least one of those years being at the varsity level. Experience in small boats is not necessary.

TRANSPORTATION

Due to University and NCAA Policies, we are not allowed to offer any transportation to and from camps. The airport closest to the Berkeley campus is Oakland International Airport; San Francisco International Airport is also within a reasonable distance. There are several options that we suggest. There are a few shuttle services that offer transportation to and from Oakland & San Francisco International Airports.

HEALTH & RELEASE FORMS

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.
