Are you looking to start your child with the sport of rowing? Do you just need to get them out of the house and into the great outdoors for a few hours a day? Our Learn-to-row camps are just right for you! No previous experience is needed, and we welcome all rising 6th graders - seniors. Camps run Monday-Saturday, from 9 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. at the Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina (2901 Bell Rd, Nashville, TN 37217). Fees cover the cost of coaching staff, launch gas, and a 2026 NRC Summer Camp tee-shirt!

During a week of camp, athletes will work alongside our current rowers to learn the fundamentals of the sport of rowing, including proper warming up and cooling down techniques, care for and transport of rowing shells and oars, and the basics of the rowing stroke. After a week of camp, athletes will be prepared to join our fall programming. Athletes who are interested in more rowing during the summer are welcome to sign up for multiple weeks of Learn-to-row, and after two weeks (or at the coaches' discretion) of learning will be allowed to join our small boat camps for more opportunities for on-the-water rowing.

For questions about our Learn to Row camps, please contact Coach Lucas at [email protected]!

Are you looking to continue rowing during the summer break, but need a little more flexibility in which weeks you're out on the water? Are you ready to spend some time honing your sculling skills and building confidence in small boats? Then our Small Boat Camps are the right choice for you! Sessions run from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., Monday through Friday, out of the Hamilton Creek Sailboat Marina. During a week of Small Boat Camp, athletes should expect to develop their capabilities as scullers, boat captains, and teammates through a variety of drills and exercises designed to keep things light and enjoyable. Fees cover the cost of coaching staff, launch gas, and a 2026 NRC Summer Camp tee-shirt!

Fees cover the cost of coaching staff, launch gas, NRC HP Unisuit, and 2027 NRC HP Camp T-Shirt! Rowfest costs are not included and will be assessed separately.

RowFest is the camp's regatta opportunity. Only committed competitors will be asked to travel to and compete at the regatta. As such, the costs for RowFest are not included in your initial registration costs. Athletes who do compete will be asked to pay for their entries and travel arrangements as a separate charge. We will travel as a team to the venue.
