Atomic Summer Camp at ORRA is a great way to get outside, be on the water, meet new friends, and learn the skill of rowing! Youth will get a clear look at what is involved in this exciting sport and will have the opportunity to row with current Atomic rowers and feel what it’s like to row an Eight Person Boat (8+)!
Learn to Row Camps are for youth athletes, girls and boys aged 13-17 years, looking for an introduction to rowing.
2025 Camp Registration opens in May 2025, and the camps occur in June 2025.

Can I sign up for multiple weeks? We encourage campers to sign up for more than 1 week if they wish; to continue to learn and grow with their new teammates!
