Yes! Prior rowing experience is not necessary, but all campers must be competent swimmers.

Comfortable shorts and tshirt that are not too baggy, (baggy clothing tends to caught in the moving parts on the boats).
Tennis shoes and socks. We will do some on-land warmups and rowers need socks to wear in the boats.
Sun and heat protection: hat, sunscreen, water bottle. (If you have a metal water battle, please cover it with a sock. Heavy metal bottles can damage the inside of boats.)
Lightweight waterproof jacket if it is cold. Beginner boats can be quite splashy.

All camp coaching staff have multiple years of prior rowing experience, current CPR/AED certification, and are Safesport trained and background-checked through USRowing.
A motorized coach safety boat with extra life vests accompanies each training session on the water.
