2024 Summer Camp.

2024 August 6-8 1x's Camp

Great pre-season training camp!

Must have rowing experience with a high school rowing team. Camp will start early (6:00 am) on Tuesday, August 6 and you must be available until noon on Thursday, August 8th. Rowing and sessions may happen anytime on the 6th and 7th and until noon on the 8th as we will maximize time around weather those days. We plan for the sessions to occur at the "old site boathouse" in Osprey but we will move to Nathan Benderson Park if weather requires it. You can plan on the following:

  • At least 2 times on the water each day in 1x's
  • Detailed analysis of video that will be shared with you to keep
  • Work on the erg and how it relates to your 1x's rowing
  • Presentations on sculling technique
  • Great coach to athlete ratio
  • Personalized mobility analysis and sessions and how it can help your rowing
  • Analysis of the Olympic 1x's finals and the technique used
  • Evaluation of your stengths and weaknesses and how you can improve both
  • How to improve in a fall race setting and time trials
  • Work on making turns and steering in a 1x in a race setting

From out of town? - Contact us to see if we can help you find you housing or get your own! We will communicate exact session times as we draw closer to the dates, but want to wait to see what weather has in store for us!

Hear from out participants

In a short amount of time we have made a serious impact on youth rowing.

2023 Female Participant
"My time at RCA was one-of-a-kind and I walked away equipped with a renewed sense of confidence in my athletic abilities and a skillset that has proven to be a force to be reckoned with. RCA distinguished itself from other programs by the individuality of coaching and the personalized experience it catered to the athletes. Coaches met with us weekly, discussing goals and ways to tackle the next week as a better version of ourselves than the previous week, and at the end of the camp, I walked out a completely transformed athlete. Goals can ambitious, but RCA never seizes to assist in us reaching them. Going into the camp, I had a rather ambitious goal of making the top boat at my program which would go to compete at the Head of the Charles. I acknowledged its difficulty but the coaches, without hesitation, was determined to make that happen. As a result of their dedication and acumen, I was extremely fortunate to not only make the boat but placed third at the Head of the Charles in the Women’s Youth Four. I recommend RCA with much pride and I do not regret a single second spent there."
2023 Male Rower
"RCA was an amazing experience for me. Over the summer it can be difficult to stay motivated to continue training. RCA helped me connect with other rowers and stay motivated. RCA also helped me continue my training on water, despite the off season. My technique greatly improved because of the program and I was able to transfer it to my home team."
2023 Female Coxswain
"My time at RCA was an incredibly rewarding experience . From day one, I set a personal goal to make the 1v at both the camp and my home program. The coaches played an crucial role in helping me achieve this goal. Their willingness to answer any questions and provide guidance was truly helpful, fostering an environment of continuous learning and growth. The fellowship among all coxswains added an extra layer of motivation, creating an atmosphere where everyone pushed each other to excel. The camp not only sharpened my skills but also inspired a sense of determination and teamwork that will undoubtedly stay with me throughout my rowing journey."
2023 Rower recruited to Hobart and William Smith
"RCA helped me come in prepared for my first year of collegiate rowing and really gave me a leg up in my training. I would recommend this camp to anyone who wants to better themselves in the sport and build that extra competitive edge."
2023 Rower
"RCA provided me with an amazing coaching staff and an effective training plan. Going into the fall season after RCA, I am 10 seconds faster on my 2k and 40 seconds faster on my 5k. The technical gains I made also helped me move multiple seats up in my boat. I would definitely recommend RCA to anyone who is thinking about rowing over the summer!"
