Mendota Learn to Row Day 2025

Join us Saturday, June 7 at Mendota Rowing Club for this free event! You'll get a hands-on experience with the great sport of rowing. 

We start with a short lesson on land to show you the basics of the rowing stroke, and then we'll take you out on the water with experienced rowers in 8-person shells (weather permitting).

Land activity options at this open house include a tour of our historical boathouse, and review of our fleet of rowing shells.

Kids 12 and older may join the rowing lessons and ride in the rowing shell; younger kids are welcome to try the land activities. All kids under 16 must be accompanied by a grown-up for the duration of their visit. Children under 12 must be under direct parent/guardian supervision at all times.
