Summer Camps
Warm temperatures and no school make summer a great time to row. AJRA offers summer rowing camps for middle and high schoolers at various levels, from Learn-to-Row Camps for brand new rowers, Returning Rower camps for those with a basic foundation of rowing, as well as Technical and Racing Camps for returning high school rowers. Camps provide a great way for athletes to learn or develop rowing skills, within the structure of summer camp fun.

LEARN-TO-ROW CAMPS
REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!
This one-week camp is perfect for first time rowers! During each week campers learn about the sport, equipment, terminology, and safety of moving boats on and off the water. We begin with a basic workout program, and everyone has a chance to get out on the Chattahoochee River.
PREREQUISITES: No previous rowing experience is necessary. Camps are co-ed and are a mix of rising 7th-12th grade students. Campers are grouped each session by age, size, and skill level. If you're looking for a camp experience exclusively with high school students, we recommend signing up for our high school-only session.

COMPETITIVE RACING CAMP
This camp is open to athletes with at least one season of competitive racing, novice or varsity. Practices are 6 days a week: 7 am - 12 pm (with a 1 hour rest/refuel break from 9-10 am) and run from late June through mid-July. Athletes will compete at USRowing Summer Nationals in Ann Arbor, Michigan. USRowing Summer Nationals is a highly competitive regatta and boats will be composed of athletes accordingly.
Rising Seniors who are interested in being recruited to college will participate in the Coaches Tent at Summer Nats. Meet college coaches, discuss rowing background (we will help the athlete create a rowing resume if need be) and see what opportunities there are for them to continue rowing in college.​
2026 Dates and More Info Coming Soon!
​
TECHNICAL DROP-IN PRACTICES
Rowers with some prior competitive experience can enjoy a flexible practice schedule during the summer. Our open practices are for athletes who want to get back on the water and develop their technique and on-water fitness. Space is limited in all practices to enable a low coach-to-athlete ratio, an ongoing emphasis on sculling and boat skills, and a focus on safe distancing and instruction.
PREREQUISITES: Any returning rower or coxswain from Varsity or Novice squads. This camp is open to all high school-aged rowers, including spring seniors.
Practice Times: Coming Soon
Price: TBD​
​
Once registered for an e-punchcard, athletes will be added to an email list with access to a sign-up form for practices which will be accessible on Sunday midday for the upcoming week’s sessions. Rowers must sign up in advance for the sessions they want to attend each week. Attend the practice times that work for you and your summer schedule!
