Description: Are you tired of the same old rowing camps? Have you ever felt unfulfilled at the end of a long camp, or felt surrounded by other rowers who just didn't share your same enthusiasm and motivation? At the Princeton High Performance Rowing Camps, it is our mission to conduct camps that are productive and motivational in every way. Our world class coaching staff is offering three five-day camps, at which we will analyze your rowing, give you new ideas on how to become a better rower and teammate, and light a fire under you that will burn far into the future. Individuals that are looking for a nice relaxing week away from home need not register.

The camp will mimic a typical week of training at a nationally competitive program. Sessions will be intense and challenging. Campers will be taught the finer technical points of the stroke and will have many racing opportunities built into the training sessions. Along with technique and race strategy other topics include: training and physiology, strength and conditioning and sports nutrition. To ensure individual attention and a high performance camp, spaces are limited. We guarantee that you will leave Princeton having had a camp experience that was far above average, and one that inspires you to reach a new level in rowing.
Space is limited! These camps have sold out the last 3 years!
Dates/Sessions:  Session 1: June 21, 2012 - June 25, 2012; Session 2: June 27, 2012 – July 1, 2012; Session 3: August 6, 2012 - August 10, 2012
