CAMP: U23 Development Camp (Vernon)
June 18, 2023
U23 Development Camp (Vernon)
Plan a full weekend in Vernon by attending the Lap the Lake Regatta on Saturday, June 17th, followed by attending this Rowing BC U23 Development Camp on Sunday, June 18th at the same location!
Who:
This camp is intended for Junior (U15, U17, and U19) and Senior (U21, U23) 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 Rowing BC’s Executive Director, Alia Zawacki, and 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 Functional Movement Screen) from service providers that may not regularly be available in your home training environment
- try out and race an octet!
