Nonprofit community rowing club at Chickahominy Riverfront Park that runs two-week Summer Youth Learn to Row sessions for ages 10-16, no experience required. Athletes row on Gordon Creek and the Chickahominy River, learning rowing fundamentals and water safety while building strength and coordination as part of a crew. Sessions meet Monday-Thursday, 9-11 AM, with Friday held as a weather make-up day, and five sessions run from mid-June through August. Participants must be able to swim, and graduates can continue into the club's middle school or high school club teams; scholarships are offered.

★Dan Millerobnoxious crew boats passing by a campground early in the morning with their microphones blasting out instructions.
★★★★★T. SimoneNicest group of people who are working to bring the experience of rowing to the community. I don’t have other clubs to compare it to but I would suggest you reach out if you are interested. Rowing is for middle school age through adults. They are looking for high schoolers now.
★★★★★Glenda HowardLovely rowing venue. The club let me launch from their boathouse to practice for their head race.
