One Week at Craftsbury Sculling Center

The first rowing camp in North America, the Craftsbury Sculling Center remains one of the definitive training locations and experiences for scullers worldwide.

Excellent coaching, ideal water, and a great atmosphere for learning have made Craftsbury a sought-after sculling destination for more than 40 years. Whether you want to improve your technical skills for competition, learn to scull for health and fitness, or simply have a fun, active vacation, Craftsbury has something for everyone.

During this week long program (6 days/5 nights during the two permitted time periods listed below), you'll experience a complete exploration of the sport of sculling: technique, training, boatmanship, rigging and more. The program includes 14 scheduled on-water sessions, two video review sessions per camper, and a variety of land sessions such as core strengthening, yoga, rigging, ergometer training, and evening activities. Coached sessions and video reviews typically take place before lunch. In the afternoons, take advantage of a free row to work independently on what you're learning or grab a coach for more technical points. The afternoon row is also a great chance to try a demo single or a team boat, or stay on dry land and expedite your recovery with a massage or other programming options. Participate in a trip to Concept2 (the rowing oar and erg manufacturer), take a mountain bike ride, play volleyball, or visit other local points of interest. Thursdays midday we hold the Head of the Hosmer - Craftsbury's take on the traditional head racing format complete with post-event festivities and campfire. All week-long programs start at 3:30pm on Sundays and end by 11:00am on Friday.
