CAMP: Junior Development Camp (Nelson)

Junior Development Camp (Nelson)

Plan a full weekend in Nelson by attending the Nelson Sprints Regatta on Saturday, July 15th, followed by attending this Rowing BC Junior Development Camp on Sunday, July 16th at the same location!

Who:

This camp is intended for Junior (U15, U17, and U19) athletes from across BC who are in the early stages of exploring what it means to be a performance-focused athlete. The camp is being run to support and enhance training opportunities available, especially to athletes based in the Interior. In addition, it creates an opportunity for local coaches to be mentored by experienced coaches who are regularly based outside of the region.

This camp will be coached by Rowing BC’s Director of Performance, Terry Paul, with additional support from coaches from each of the local rowing organizations with participants in attendance.

What:

This one-day camp is an opportunity to:

• access coaching from mentor coaches outside of the region
• train together with athletes from a variety of other home training environments, building community and learning from one another
• access specialty sessions (in this case, a Nutrition Session or Sport Psychology Session) from service providers that may not regularly be available in your home training environment

Where: Nelson Rowing Club, Nelson, BC

Camp Schedule: 

• 7:30 – 9:30 AM First Row
• 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM Dryland Session – Nutrition Session or Sport Psychology Session with special guest TBA!
• 12:00-1:00 PM Lunch – participants to bring own lunch or choose something nearby

If your team’s trailer will be unable to stay for the Sunday camp, please reach out so that alternative equipment options for you can be found.
