Learn To Row! June 22–24, 2022

Here’s your chance to spend some time on the water and experience rowing firsthand.

Students who will be attending Justice High School (any grade) in the 2022-2023 school year or those who will be 7th or 8th graders (any school) and live within the Justice High School boundaries are invited to a three-day Learn-To-Row at Sandy Run Regional Park June 22–24, 2022 from 9:00 AM-12:30 PM. No experience is required—it’s a fun, free experiential event.

Where

The three-day Learn-To-Row event will take place at Sandy Run Regional Park, the location of our boathouse. Click here for printable directions or here for Google maps.

What to Wear, Items to Bring

Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing (think leggings or spandex and a t-shirt) 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 in the boathouse.
