CFJ RECREATIONAL Program

Program Description

This fall season, the Foundry is introducing a Recreational Rowing Team for high school students (9th - 12th grade).

The program is designed for brand new rowers as well as experienced rowers who cannot commit to a competitive, 5-6 days/week training and racing schedule.

Progress your skills on and off the water, workout, and make friends in a casual, low commitment setting. Newer rowers will establish their abilities on our rowing machines and tanks before joining the experienced crew on the water in 8 and 4 person shells.

Fall Season

EVERY Tuesday and EVERY OTHER Monday August 25, 2025 to October 28, 2025

5:00pm - 7:30pm
