Gift certificate for two (2) adults to participate in a Spring Learn-to-Row 1 class at the Peter Jay Sharp Boathouse in Manhattan.

This session is a great way to have fun and learn the proper technique of rowing while enjoying the beauty of the Harlem River.

Row New York began in 2002 with the simple idea that competitive rowing paired with rigorous academic support for underserved youth could change the trajectory of their teen years and beyond. We have since taught thousands of young people the sport of rowing, and through it the values of tenacity, focus, teamwork, and confidence.

And in return, they make us proud.

Row New York teams have medaled at the New York State championships for five years in a row, and regularly hold their own at regional regattas against athletes who have every advantage. Nearly 100% of our graduates go on to higher learning, most on scholarship. And virtually all our student-athletes report an improved lifestyle and newfound pride and purpose.
