Summer Varsity Camp

Varsity Summer Camps

2026 VARSITY ROWING SUMMER CAMP

The Oakland Strokes Varsity Summer Camp is designed for all Oakland athletes who were on the High School Racing Team in the Fall 2025 and/or Spring of 2026, including our graduating seniors. 

Camp Structure and goals

The Oakland Varsity Summer Camp is for all experienced Oakland Strokes High School athletes.  All athletes will have the same practice schedule and will be selected into cohorts based on age, fitness, and skill level.

This Summer the camp will be split into two sessions:

  • Summer Pre-camp - 3 week session in late May / early June concurrent with Youth Nationals Training for developing athletes who are not traveling to Youth Nationals. Athletes can expect on water technical training and land training designed to prepare them for the summer racing camp and next fall.

  • 2k Erg Boot Camp - NEW FOR 2026  This camp runs concurrently with the Summer Pre-camp and is designed for athletes who are not traveling Youth Nationals and would like to focus on lowering their 2k erg score. The majority of this camp will be land based training at the boathouse and erg room.

  • Summer Camp - 4 week session post Youth Nationals in late June / early July split into a development cohort and a cohort training for the BC Championships Regatta 

It is important to note that not all athletes will be selected to compete at the BC Championships. Athletes who wish to be considered to compete at the BC Championships will need to inform coaches at the beginning of camp if they are available for the dates of the regatta. Athletes not selected to travel and race will be supported to continue training and developing skills with the goal of preparing them to row in the fall. 

Athletes who are not available to attend the entire camp are welcome to attend at a prorated cost; however, they will not be eligible to participate in the BC Championships Regatta trip.  Please contact us for prorate codes if you are not able to attend the full camp.

Our intent is to look at competing in all boat classes, including straight (non-coxed) boats. We highly recommend that coxswains speak with Allison and/or Jovan about participating in the varsity camp.
