Virtual summer or real summer?
Some kids scroll. Others row.
Got a teen who needs something to do this summer — but doesn't need a full-time schedule? The Jr. Gryphons Afternoon Program might be exactly the fit.
Designed for ages 14–17, it runs 3 afternoons a week at Guelph Lake. It starts with 2 weeks of Learn-to-Row in July, then rolls into a skills development program for the rest of the summer. Fresh air, real coaching, and a reason to put the phone down.
For younger rowers (ages 11–14), we also offer morning camps — 5 days of Learn-to-Row, with two optional weeks available in July. After camp, the fun keeps going with our morning skills development program, 3 days a week through the rest of the summer.
Qualified coaches, trained in first aid and Learn-to-Row coaching, introduce the sport of rowing with an emphasis on physical activity, fun and above all, water safety.
Registration now open! Limited spots available!
