2021 SPU Rowing Camp

This camp is a great way for athletic youth to try a new sport that may open the door to future opportunities!  Fun fact: 90% of SPU’s nationally ranked team had no rowing experience before trying out. Get a head start on your rowing journey by signing up for this introductory camp led by current staff and team members. Camp will give participants the foundation to join a local club program and information about walking-on in college. Camp will start with basic technical instruction on Concept 2 erg machines and progress to rowing under the Seattle skyline. The goal is for campers to discover a highly rewarding sport that can lead to a collegiate, adult, and/or elite career!

COVID-19 Precautions:

• 10 participants + volunteers known as a “cohort” and only row in boats with each other.
• Volunteers are current team members who can serve as coxswains or rowers in boats.
• Coaches maintain physical distance and are not considered part of any cohort.
• Cohorts will be preassigned before camp based on age and/or relational status (i.e. family members or friends).
• Since most, if not all, rowing camp activities occur outside, interaction may occur between cohorts, but masking and physical distancing will be enforced.
• Masks will be required for most camp activities except for distanced erging.  Masks will be worn in the boats.
• Equipment (e.g. ergs, oars, seat area in boats, etc.) will be sanitized after every use with disinfectant spray and wipes.
• Housing is unavailable at this time on campus, but local hotel recommendation is approx. 3 miles away:
