LEARN TO ROW

Tempted to try rowing?

Learn to Row classes are a great introduction to the sport and a chance to experience time on the water. Each class consists of five sessions: one on-land session on Wednesday evening and two on-water sessions on each of the following Saturday and Sunday. 

ON-LAND sessions take place in the Mt View Room of the Poulsbo First Lutheran Church; Wednesdays 6:00 to 8:30 pm.

The ON-WATER sessions are held on Saturday and Sunday at 7:00 am to 12:30 pm; starting times may vary due to wind in which case students will be advised. Class will launch shells from the KRA dock located within the Port of Poulsbo.
