What to Bring
Competitive Crew
$850/semester
$600/trimester for St. Stephens
Our Competitive Crew challenges those high-school students who want to train to race competitively in regattas. We hone the talents of each individual by improving fitness and developing technical proficiency. Athletes practice and race in sculling singles, doubles, quads, fours and eights. Our goal is to develop team boats capable of competing in regattas and winning state and national championships. Our program has also placed athletes on the U.S. Junior National Team and the 2018 US Youth Olympic Team. Many of our athletes continue to row in college. The semester runs January 9th through May 23rd. Practices take place Monday through Friday from 5:00PM to 7:00PM and on Saturday from 9:00AM to 11:00AM.
Recreational Crew
$850/semester
$600/trimester for St. Stephens
The Recreational Crew is the best option for students who are interested in rowing and paddling, but are not interested in competing. This program is perfect for new rowers and experienced rowers alike from grades 6 to 12. In addition to rowing, students learn to kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddle (SUP). The goal for crew members is to learn boating techniques and endurance, while experiencing the excitement of Lady Bird Lake. Recreational Crew members are invited to participate in Austin regattas and inter-squad races. The semester runs January 9th through May 23rd. Practices take place Monday through Thursday from 5:00PM to 7:00PM and on Saturday from 11:00AM to 1:00PM.

Juniors can continue their training over the summer with our coached Summer Training Program.
