We are excited to once again offer our Veterans / Military program in conjunction this summer! This program is open to all experience levels and is inclusive to all veterans of all abilities. Whether you’re a seasoned rower or new to the sport, this is a great opportunity to stay fit and meet veterans in your area. 

This 6-week introductory Summer Program is designed for veterans of all abilities who wish to row once a week. During the 90-minute 1:1 ratio coached practice sessions, rowers will learn basic rowing technique and boat moving skills, both on land and on the water, in a fun and low intensity environment. Why 10-11 rowers per team and not 8? We want to ensure if 1-2 members of your team can't make practice due to work or family commitments, your 8-person shell can still go out for practice. Rowers will work together as a team in an eight-person shell. An end of Summer Regatta (race) and cookout will take place at the Frank Lloyd Wright Boathouse on August 16th for all participants. Veterans Rowing Program begins the week of July 7 and runs through August 11th. Practices which fall on holidays will be rescheduled at the convenience of the coach and crew.

Practice will be held on Thursday nights at 6:00 PM. Address is 1 Rotary Row, Buffalo, NY 14201.

Program Cost of $175.00 is WAIVED. Cost: $25.00 goes towards team t-shirts and coxswain fee.
