Junior Summer Camps
Our first week of Junior Summer Camp was quite exciting! 16 new Junior rowers participated. Our student Coaches did an amazing job keeping them safe and entertained while learning the basics of rowing. Week 2 just wrapped up with 9 participants.
Camps will run for the remainder of July, and for the middle 2 weeks of August, Monday-Friday, 9AM-4PM. There is still room in the remaining weeks, so keep this option in mind if you hear of someone having a "boring" summer. We would love to have them!
Support for the Junior Development Summer Camp Program is provided by Rowing Canada Aviron and Sport Nova Scotia.

Equipment Update
The Equipment Committee has been busy... but not too busy... thanks to the efforts of our members to prevent and report damages.
The committee recently recruited the assistance of some of our Junior Summer Camp participants to help with refreshing the red-blade sculling oars. Here are some photos of them sanding off what was left of the shiny finish, and then applying the first coat of paint!

REMINDER: Always report any equipment damage to your Coach, either damage you find or have caused. We get it - accidents happen. Reporting damage promptly helps minimize the impact of the accident on our programs, and helps the club identify opportunities to reduce the frequency of accidents.
