"United We Row"
Summer Youth Rowing
WRC combines the best parts of summer activities and rowing for a full summer of fun programs. WRC "United We Row" Youth summer rowing programs are a series of 2-week* sessions open to students aged 12 and older in grades 6-12.
Sessions are held 5-days a week, Monday through Friday, from 8 am - 12 noon. Students can sign up for any and/or all of the sessions. Please note, session 1 begins 1 week later this year due to all of the snow days and late last-day-of-school for many local school districts. It will be a short 1-week session.
Sessions are free, thanks to generous sponsorship by the United Way of Greater Fall River.
There are four sessions in 2026. Athletes are encouraged to join any and as many sessions as they like; no need to start from session 1 - join any time throughout the summer! Registration for multiple sessions is encouraged! 2026 dates are below.
Registration for summer 2026 opens April 1, 2026!
