BLS Crew is pleased to offer a Learn-to-Row program this summer. No rowing or other athletic experience is required to join, and all grade levels of current and incoming BLS students are welcome.

 

Learn-to-Row is a great way to try out rowing and start to experience BLS Crew's combination of fun, teamwork, community and competition!

 

If you are planning to join BLS Crew as a Novice for Fall 2025 participation in one session of a summer Learn-to-Row program is encouraged. This summer session will give you experience and training in the fundamentals of rowing to get off to a solid start in the fall season. 

 

A parent or guardian (not the student) must complete this Learn to Row Summer 2025 Registration Form.

 

Email registrar@blscrew.org with any questions.
