Junior Rowing
We offer a competitive rowing program for high school and junior high age students age 13 to 18. Rowing teaches self-reliance, teamwork, sportsmanship, how to get up in the morning, and it is a LOT of fun. Send an email to info@orcasislandrowing.org to find out how to join the team.
Masters Rowing
Our Masters program includes rowing and erging classes for both experienced and novice rowers, as well as access to our boathouse and dock.
Rowers must join US Rowing as Championship members, watch and understand the US Rowing safety video, sign the 2021 US Rowing liability release, and pass a swim test.
