Small Boats Development Camp

The Small Boats Development Camp will prepare athletes who are not yet race-ready, accelerating their development to build the confidence and skills needed to compete in new boat categories during the fall season.

​

WHO IS THIS CAMP FOR?

 

​The camp is open to rising 9th graders and high school rowers looking to refine their skills and prepare for the upcoming rowing season. Spots are limited to 36 athletes.

​​​​

"I can't believe the progress I made in just two weeks at the DUC small boat camp. Not only did I learn new techniques, but the flip test gave me a sense of safety and preparedness on the water that I didn't have before."

– Sarah, Rising 9th Grader

WHAT TO EXPECT​​

With a low 8-to-1 athlete-to-coach ratio, every participant will receive individualized attention and personalized coaching. During this camp, rowers will:

  • ​Learn to steer with toe-steering.

  • Build confidence in handling small boats.

  • Practice and operate efficiently in a training setting.

  • Complete race pieces to develop competitive readiness.

  • Perform a flip test to demonstrate their ability to safely re-enter their boat.

​

On the last day of camp, rowers will be tested in a race setting to put all their newfound skills to the test. They will be given a mock race day environment to launch on time, get to the starting line with enough readiness, get aligned, race efficiently, and manage equipment, followed by an awards ceremony.​
