Give a child or grandchild the gift of rowing at the summer 2014 Youth Learn-to-Row camp with this item from Pittsford Crew. The camp offers students from the Greater Rochester area-- entering grades 8-12 in fall 2014--the chance to learn one of the most exciting and fastest growing sports. Camp is held on the Erie Canal at the William C. Warren III Boathouse, located just off of Clover Street across from Lock #32 in Pittsford. The Erie Canal, with calm, essentially current-free, and safe waters, has proven to be one of the best places in the U.S. to learn rowing. Now in its 14th year, summer Learn-to-Row camps have taught more than 800 students how to row and provide a great way to prepare for joining any of the area's five high school rowing programs--in Pittsford, Brighton, Fairport, McQuaid, and Mercy. Many Rochester-area rowers have gone on to row at the collegiate level. Camp is a great way to spend the summer and introduces a sport that lasts a lifetime. High bidder should go to the website (www.pittsfordcrew.org) to register. During the two-week session, rowers will learn safety procedures, rowing techniques on the ergometer, and will quickly progress to rowing on the water. This certificate is for the afternoon session that takes place from 1pm to 3:30pm and is limited to 32 participants. Each session ends in an exciting mini-Regatta where kids race each other on the final morning (Saturday) of camp. Learn to Row is a safe, well-supervised place where kids can quickly experience the thrill of rowing. Sign up early to better ensure availability of a place in your first choice of sessions! Registration is open now; please register early. Class dates are June 30th-July 11th, July 14th-July 25th and July 28th-Aug 8th. Please note that a swimming test is required to participate in the Learn to Row program.

Certificate expires on 12/31/14.
