Learn To Row Camp – Ohio State Buckeyes
Learn To Row Camp
COVID-19 UPDATE
In response to the COVID-19 situation, Buckeye Sports Camps has cancelled all camps and clinics through July 6th, 2020, per the University’s policies in place. Ohio State continues to follow recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) about events and gatherings. The university will continue to evaluate events and will share plans to either end the restrictions early or, if needed, extend them. The main priority of our programs continues to be the health, safety and wellness of our participants, student-athletes, coaches, administrators and staff as we continue to monitor all developing and relevant information on the COVID-19 virus. At this point we remain committed to preparing for our summer programs and will actively monitor the situation. In the event of canceling summer programs a full refund will be issued.
The Ohio State Women’s Learn to Row Camp is designed to introduce new or lesser experienced athletes to the fundamentals of rowing. NO EXPERIENCE IS NECESSARY! Participants will start with the basics of the rowing sequence and progress to racing on the water by the conclusion of camp.
Rowing is a great, low impact way to get fit that will work all muscle groups, including your heart and lungs. Rowers are some of the world’s fittest athletes. On the water and on land, rowing combines a full body motion that offers complete physical and mental conditioning. Most of all – IT’S FUN!
Having rowing experience can help you get into college! Many collegiate programs are looking for experienced rowers that have the physical and mental prowess to contribute to their teams – and many offer scholarships! Campers can expect 2-3 workouts a day, video review, Q&A with current collegiate rowers, training on how to “Be Elite”, and fun in their free time!
What to Bring:
Spandex shorts, t-shirts/tank tops, athletic shoes, socks, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, reusable water bottle, and overnight essentials (towel, shower products, etc).
