Summer Learn-to-row camps

PCR is excited to welcome new and returning student-athletes to our summer learn-to-row camps! Application for enrollment is open through May 1st. During camp, you will learn basic rowing technique and receive a general introduction to fitness, nutrition, and the sport of rowing. Summer camps run from 9:30 to 12:30 Monday to Friday and are open to anyone in grades 7 through 12 in a Philadelphia public or charter school. All camps are COMPLETELY FREE and PCR provides students with daily SEPTA passes and snacks. 

Proof of swimming ability is requested for participation in our programs but is not required. Students who cannot swim two lengths of the pool or tread water for two minutes will be asked to wear a life jacket when they are on the water. All abilities are welcome to join! 

If you have any questions about our summer learn-to-row camps please contact George at [email protected] before submitting your application. 

PLEASE NOTE: Philadelphia City Rowing is committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and respectful environment for all participants. By enrolling, participants and their families agree to uphold the values and expectations of our program. Participation in PCR’s free programs is a privilege, not a right. We reserve the right to suspend or remove any participant from the program if their behavior or conduct is deemed unsafe, disruptive, or inconsistent with our values, expectations, or code of conduct. Our goal is always to work collaboratively with families and participants to support positive growth and address challenges, but in rare cases, removal may be necessary to maintain the safety and integrity of the program for all.
