This session is designed for athletes who are true beginners with no prior rowing experience to those that have rowed before but have less than one spring racing season of experience.

Campers will be divided into groups based on experience offering low camper-to-staff ratios for concentrated teaching. There is a strong focus on individual skills and personal improvement.

Campers will learn the basics of rowing including, sport terminology, and care and handling of equipment. Water sessions focus on learning and refining the rowing stroke. Land sessions cover training basics and collegiate rowing / the recruiting process. Daily activities include video analysis and question and answer sessions! 

Commitment to excellence on and off the water is the emphasis of the Indiana Rowing Camp. Learn why rowing is the ultimate team sport.

Specialized Coxswain Training
The coxswain is a key element of the crew and will be given specialized training with a well-rounded approach for the tactical, technical and psychological aspects of the position. The coxswain's role will be enhanced as they participate in land training activities with the rowers. We can only accept a limited number of coxswains – so apply early!
