Our junior program is open to youth, grades 7 – 12, and is comprised of students from middle and high schools throughout Whatcom County. rowing experience is not necessary and new rowers can join at any time. The junior program focuses on learning proper rowing techniques, teamwork and having fun! Our coaches are dedicated to working with all of our athletes to develop confidence and create the best opportunities for success, on and off the water.
We will evaluate programming every two weeks to see if we need to make any changes related to Covid protocols or athlete experience. Registration for each session will be live on the WRA website two weeks prior to the start date.
