Come experience the thrill of racing on the Connecticut River with our competitive high school rowing program.
Holyoke Rows is inviting new and experienced high school aged youth to join our after school rowing program anytime in September.
This program is FREE* to Holyoke high school aged youth, and open to other area youth who do not have a local rowing program. No experience necessary! If you’re a beginner, we’ll teach you all the basics of rowing, from the difference between sculling and sweep rowing, to how to carry a boat down to the docks! If you’re an experienced rower, come on down, join the team, and expand your skills.
During the Fall season we’ll be on the water focusing on boat skills, speed, and teamwork. We’ll also be competing in rowing regattas around the region and our own Paper City Regatta.
Give us a call or come check it out for yourself. Mondays-Fridays 3-5pm.
