Junior Summer Camp success!

22nd August, 2025

The first Junior Summer Camp took place from 11–15 August, and what a success it was! With warm sunshine, flat waters, and supportive coaching, ten juniors, new to the sport, enjoyed an unforgettable week. Their progress was remarkable both in technique and speed.

Over just five days, participants advanced from Edons to quad boats, then to doubles, and by the end of the week, were confidently rowing fine singles.

A huge well-done to all the juniors involved, and an enormous thank you to our positive, upbeat, and professional coaching team- James, Gemma, and Ellie.

Special thanks also to Liz Gray for assisting with the risk assessment ahead of the camp, and to the Midweek rowers for kindly accommodating changes to their rowing times on Monday and Thursday.

We’re delighted to share that this camp alone raised more than £1,000 profit for the club!
