CAMP: Masters Development Camp (Vernon)

Masters Development Camp (Vernon)

Plan a full weekend in Vernon by attending the Lap the Lake Regatta on Saturday, June 14th, followed by attending this Rowing BC Masters Development Camp on Sunday, June 15th at the same location!

Who:

This camp is intended for Masters athletes from across BC who are looking for additional chances to be coached by experienced coaches from outside of their home training environment, and to learn from other Masters while training alongside them. The camp is being run to support and enhance available training opportunities, especially for 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, Rowing BC’s Director of Membership and Community Development, Sonja Lonne, and Vernon Rowing and Dragon Boat Club’s Head Coach, Glen Stiven, with additional support from coaches selected to be involved in Rowing BC’s Coach Mentorship Program during the camp.

Want to be involved as a coach at this camp through Rowing BC’s Coach Mentorship Program? –> Apply HERE before May 28, 2025.
