Travel Day and check out

This “Technical Vacation” is a wonderful opportunity to improve our rowing skills (in daylight) as well as get a jump start on our southern counterparts. Each practice will be focused on individual stroke development and improving the teams skill as a whole. Tha advantages of attending a camp like this are great and will have a direct impact on our boat speed when we finally return to the water in March.
