About This Activity
Instructor: Florin Curuea, Sewickley Academy Rowing Coach Build strength, endurance, and coordination while enjoying the outdoors. With experienced coaches and a focus on water safety, kids not only develop their rowing technique but also learn valuable life skills such as discipline, perseverance, and collaboration. The Junior Camp for Rowers program will be led by Sewickley Academy rowing coach, Florin Curuea, who has competed in the Olympics and on the Romanian national team. The Juniors Camp for Rowers Program is tailored for students between the ages of 12 and 19. Training is done in small boats - single and double sculls – where the focus is on developing their individual technique, balance, and coordination on the water. Small boat training requires precision and skill and will refine the athlete’s stroke mechanics, improve their timing, and build mental toughness. It also fosters a deep understanding of boat handling and the dynamics of water conditions, making it an essential part of a high school rower's development. Whether preparing for competitions or improving their personal performance, small-boat training challenges rowers to push their limits while honing their skills. All campers should bring a refillable water bottle, sunglasses, sunscreen, and athletic socks each day of camp. Please avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing that can get caught in the boat rigging. This program will be held at the Robert Morris University Boathouse, 6001 University Boulevard Moon Township, PA 15108. PLEASE NOTE: The Saturday sessions will take place from 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. If you are interested in participating, please contact Florin Curuea at pittsburghrowingclub@gmail.com or Delaney Kuchnicki at dkuchnicki@sewickley.org.
