Now beginning its 20th season, ROW FOR IT! introduces the wonderful sport of rowing (crew) to area youth. Kids from center city Wilmington as well as the suburbs, southeastern PA and southern NJ learn first on ergometers (rowing machines), then on WYRA’s indoor rowing tanks, and then in 60’ racing shells on the Christina River. At the conclusion of the camp rowers race on the Christina and a cook-out is held for rowers, families and friends. Over 2000 youngsters have taken part in ROW FOR IT! over the past 20 years and many rowers come back year after year.
Our staff is made up of highly skilled rowing coaches assisted by mentors and assistant coaches who are WYRA competitive rowers. Each boat is accompanied at all times by a coach in a launch.
Prerequisites: All rowers must show proof of basic swimming ability (see swim form).
All rowers receive a red ROW FOR IT! “I’m a Rower” t-shirt.
