During the summer, two ten-day Learn to Row sessions are conducted, with RCRC coaches doing the teaching and experienced rowers on hand to help show the ropes. The course is designed for teens with no rowing experience. Participants will learn sweep rowing techniques in four and eight-person shells. Each session consists of ten "on the water" classes in which rowers learn the proper execution of the rowing stroke, as well as rowing commands and boat handling.  The course is co-ed and is coached in a well-organized and non-competitive atmosphere.

Because of the limited number of seats available and the dramatic learning curve, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all ten of the daily classes during their session. It is particularly important that participants attend the first and last class of each session. Classes are typically held in the late afternoon.

Cost of participating in the program is $100 for the two-week session. Students are not required to purchase any additional equipment in order to participate.
