If your child enjoys being out on the water on a beautiful summer day and is looking to try something new, the Perrysburg Rowing team’s Learn To Row Camp is the place to be.
Participants entering 7th through 12th grade will learn all about the sport in a funfilled, five-day camp located at the Philip LeBoutillier Jr. Memorial Boathouse at International Park, Toledo, on the Maumee River.
Coaches will guide campers through the many aspects of rowing, including basic rowing skills and boat handling.
No experience is necessary and members of the varsity team will be there to help and support them during the week.
Rowing will be done in a four- or eight-person rowing shell and children will practice their form on the “ergs” – the rowing machines.
At the end of the fifth day, campers will race against each other for medals and parents are invited to see how much they have learned in a week.
Rowing is one of the fastest growing high school and collegiate sports.
Perrysburg High School is the only public school in northwest Ohio with a rowing team, with alumni rowing at: West Virginia University, University of Jacksonville, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Duquesne and club teams at Miami, John Carroll and Bucknell.
Rowing is the ultimate team sport where communication, leadership and character are key.
Rowers learn the importance of dedication, hard work and perseverance.
