registration deadline
The online registration system works best with Firefox and Chrome.
Due to high demand, many camps fill prior to the registration deadline and early registration is recommended. Once a camp reaches capacity or the registration deadline, we are unable to add additional campers. Walk-up registrations are not accepted for any camp or clinic.
In the event a camp does not reach capacity, the following registration deadlines apply:
- Overnight Camps close 2 days prior to the camp.
- Day Camps and Clinics close at 11:59pm the night before camp.

The Princeton University Winter Rowing Clinics are for experienced male and female high school rowers who are interested in enhancing their rowing skills before the spring racing season. Members of the University coaching staff will utilize Princeton’s state-of-the-art indoor training center to comprehensively improve athletes’ rowing technique, physiological output, core strength and flexibility. Two, five-hour training sessions will include rowing in the tanks, introductions to ergometer workouts and testing methods, core strength training, intensive stretching and speaker series. There will be 60 minutes of video review each day and a reception for parents and athletes at the end of the camp. The clinic is ideal for groups of rowers from the same team looking to hone their skills before taking them to the water in the spring, or well-suited for individual rowers trying to get a leg up on their competition for the top boats.
We will focus on the development of skills specific to training for both long and short distance ergometer testing. After completion of the workouts, participants will be educated on how to interpret their results and also how to make technical changes to increase economy of movement.
Clinic participants are encouraged to bring a USB storage device with them if they wish to keep a copy of technical video captured of them.
FACILITIES
All clinics will be held on the Princeton University campus, one of the most beautiful and historic campuses in the world. Participants will utilize the Shea Rowing Center - home of the Princeton Tigers and a training facility for the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams. The center includes moving water rowing tanks, a strength training room and ergometer room. It is located on Carnegie Lake, a protected body of water, 3 miles long with a 4 lane buoyed race course.

In the unfortunate case a camp or clinic is canceled, Princeton University will issue a full refund of the fees paid.
