Bob Spousta offers 5-day sculling camps periodically throughout the summer. Participants learn the basics of safe and efficient boat handling. The goal is for scullers to complete the week on the water feeling confident in their ability to handle a racing single on their own.

Each camp lasts for five days, with each day lasting from approximately 9:45am – 2pm. Each day includes water sessions, video technical review sessions on land, dockside talks, and demonstrations. Most of a camper’s time on the water is spent sculling in a single.

Emphasis is put on proper sculling mechanics and maintaining balance and stability throughout the stroke. Effective generation of speed, proficient navigation, boat maintenance, rules on the water, and successful training methods are covered. Campers are put through various drills designed to emphasize basic sculling principles, and they are videoed to point out areas where corrections are needed, and to demonstrate their progress throughout the week.

These were the dates for the 2011 sculling camps:

June 6-10
June 13-17
July 11-15
July 18-22
