The Charles River Rowing Camp offers a unique and positive camp for high school aged rowers of all experience levels. Athletes train on one of the world’s most legendary rowing venues, the Charles River in Boston, and have the opportunity to use Weld Boathouses and equipment. Radcliffe coaches, amongst other successful collegiate, high school and international coaches, provide instruction to help sweep rowers improve their rowing technique and build skills to promote success in their own program.
Weld Boathouse, home of the Radcliffe Varsity Heavyweight and Lightweight Rowing Teams, is located on the Charles River a few blocks from Harvard Square. It is a magnificent facility filled with state-of-the-art rowing equipment, including shells, oars, ergometers, weights, rowing tanks, locker rooms, and video equipment—all available to CRRC participants.
