Join RGCC for one (or more!) of our summer Learn-to-Row (LTR) programs. The goal of the RGCC's Learn-to-Row program is to introduce the sport of rowing to girls entering 8th and 9th grades at Radnor Middle/High School. Each four-day (Monday-Thursday) session will teach the mechanics of rowing with one oar (sweep rowing).  RGCC coaches will be assisted by current and former athletes from RHS, enabling the participants to talk with experienced girls about the sport as well as get more personal instruction.

Space is limited and registrations will be processed in the order in which they are received. All forms and payments are required to participate.

Once your daughter’s spot is confirmed, you will receive a follow-up email with specifics on what to bring and how to dress.
