Programs
Mission Rowing provides instruction and training opportunities for all age groups and skill levels: focusing on the individual athlete, their connection to the boat, and role as part of a team.

Learn to Row
To join an ongoing program or to try the sport, we offer private / semi-private learn-to-row sessions continually through the year. Our system is to get participants familiar with the rowing; it’s challenges and its rewards as quickly as possible.

Middle School Program
Designed to introduce the fundamentals of sculling, (2 oars per person), to Middle Schoolers. Our approach focuses on proper technique and boat handling skills while balancing the atmosphere by providing competitive games and building teamwork and camaraderie to keep the age group engaged.

High School Team
This competitive racing program focuses on developing the individual and the team to the highest level of their ability to represent Mission Rowing at regional, national and international regattas.
