Ages 11-18

The Detroit Boat Club Crew Youth Learn to Row Summer Camps provide a fun, hands‑on introduction to the sport along the shores of Belle Isle. Each two‑week session meets Monday–Friday from 9:00–11:00 AM, where athletes learn the basics of rowing, teamwork, and boat handling in a safe, supportive environment. Campers start on the training barge to build confidence and rhythm, then progress into racing shells and sculling boats as their skills grow. With experienced coaches, plenty of laughs, and the Detroit River as their classroom, it’s the perfect way to try something new, get active, and make friends along the way.
