Adult Rowing and Youth Rowing classes teach brand new and experienced rowers alike; Adult and High School Racing Teams compete (and medal!) at national regattas; individuals with physical disabilities participate in our Adaptive Program run in partnership with Mt. Sinai Rehabilitation Hospital; high-school aged students can learn from college coaches in our 2-day or 4-day College Coaches’ Camp; and our rowers help run one of the 10 largest rowing regattas in the United States, the Head of the Riverfront Regatta.
Hundreds of people of all ages and backgrounds have learned to row through this unique program on the Connecticut River and anyone who is at least 14 years old and knows how to swim is invited!
Rowing classes are conveniently offered just north of downtown Hartford at the Greater Hartford Jaycees Community Boathouse in Riverside Park
