2014 Rowing Summer Camps

REGISTRATION DEADLINES *NEW FOR 2014*

In the event a camp does not reach capacity, the following registration deadlines apply:

• Residential camper options close 2 days prior to the start of camp.
• Day camper options close at 11:59pm the night before camp.

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.

The Princeton High Performance Rowing Camps are designed for experienced male and female high school rowers who want to enhance their rowing ability.  Four sessions offer you the unique chance to experience what it’s like to be a collegiate oarsman in the middle of a racing season.    

Lori Dauphiny (Openweight Women), Spencer Washburn (Heavyweight Men), Marty Crotty (Lightweight Men), and Paul Rassam (Lightweight Women), lead a distinguished lineup of coaches that will provide specific technical and physiological instruction utilizing Princeton’s state-of-the-art facilities.  Armed with the same knowledge, systematic approach, and maybe even a few of the tricks that have won our coaching staff dozens of Eastern Sprints, IRA, NCAA, and World Championship gold medals, you will become a better rower that is tougher to beat.

During the 17 years of the Princeton HP Rowing Camps we have fine-tuned the elements and structure of the camps into something that we think is the best summer rowing camp format in the business.  A rower’s daily routine will include twice-a-day workouts on Lake Carnegie, introductions to effective ergometer workouts and testing methods, core strength training, technical sessions in the rowing tanks, and speakers from either the Princeton University Athletic Department umbrella or the 2012 United States Olympic Team.  Speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including nutrition best practices, building better strategies for ergometer testing, the experience of rowing in the Olympics, and how to navigate the ever changing recruiting process.  Coaches offer daily one-on-one sessions to discuss how personal training and technical improvements will enable each rower to achieve his or her goals.  In addition, each rower will receive at least 60 minutes of direct video analysis and feedback during the week. 

All of our camps offer coxswain specific instruction. Coxswains are separated into their own group for daily instructional sessions. In addition, they are assigned to a boat for on-the-water training and races.

FACILITIES

All camps will be held on the Princeton University campus, one of the most beautiful and historic campuses in the world. Campers 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 row 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. Campers will reside in Princeton University dormitories and dine in one of the school's dining halls. All dormitories will have adult supervision with a minimum of a 10:1 camper to counselor ratio plus a Health Director.

**Camp dorms do not have air conditioning. We recommend you bring a fan with you camp.**
