Fall Rowing Season

Fall Season

Oar
A full, comprehensive rowing season where athletes will learn to row and race outdoors with pleasant weather and warm water temperatures of early autumn at our lakeside facility on the Eastern edge of Lake Hopatcong. 

 

"Juniors" - High School Program 
The High School competitive team is open to new and returning rowers in 8th -12th grade who are looking to be part of a competitive racing team. We are excited to welcome back our returning Row New Jersey athletes and to welcome new athletes to the lake. The fall is a great time to try rowing! Rowing is one of the fastest-growing youth sports, rowing is outdoors, non-contact, and a great team sport.
