Orono Community Education

This camp was created for athletes interested in joining the Long Lake Rowing Crew Juniors team, and provides an opportunity to "try" rowing, before joining the team. Participants will learn the basic skills needed for competitive rowing. Develop your technique in the boats, learn what rowing workouts are like, and experience training as part of a team. After building a solid skills base and more confidence on the water, new rowers who wish to, may join our juniors team as "novice rowers." Rowing may be just the sport you're looking for! Participants should be competent swimmers and be capable of treading water and swimming 100 meters. Dress to get wet, wear socks and tennis shoes; bring a water bottle and towel. Each class builds upon the skills learned in the previous session, so daily attendance is required. 

In the event of inclement weather, camp will be held at the Long Lake Fire Department for land rowing.

Check-in: Please park along the fence on the west side of the Birch's parking lot, and proceed directly to the check-in area. Take the stone steps on the west side of the building past the deck to the waterfront.
