Here’s your chance to spend some time on the water and experience rowing firsthand.
Students who are attending Justice High School (any grade) in the 2025–2026 school year and 7th or 8th graders (any school), and live within the Justice High School boundaries are invited to learn to row with returning rowers at our Open House on Saturday, October 18, 2025 (DATE CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER). No experience is required—it’s a fun, free experiential event.

What to Wear, Items to Bring
Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing layers (think leggings or spandex, a T-shirt, and a sweatshirt), and bring sunscreen, a pair of socks, and at least a 32 oz. refillable water bottle. But not too large—the water bottle needs to fit in the boat. You might also want to pack a change of clothes, a towel, and hair ties in a backpack or sports bag that will hold your smartphone, headphones, and house keys to keep valuables safe on land.
