Programs

This is the heart of our rowing program which allows members to row based on their schedule.  Mid-Hudson Rowing Association offers coached and coach-free sweep rowing for athletes that have basic rowing skills, such as those acquired in the Learn-to-Row program.  Boatings are set daily based on who shows up at the boathouse.  Motor launch escort with safety equipment accompanies rowers.   Coxswains are welcome and we will train novice coxswains.

 

Many sculling members meet to row on weekday mornings at 5:30 AM for less structured rowing.  Coached sculling is offered several weekday mornings per week (see schedule below).

 

Throughout the season our members participate in some special rowing events. The traditional "Mills Mansion Row" is a 14 mile round trip row from the boat house in Poughkeepsie to Mills Mansion in Staatsburg for a picnic brunch on the park grounds.  In recent years, Mid Hudson rowers have met the Rondout Rowing Club of Kingston at the park to share food and rowing stories.  Future plans include a moonlight row in the late summer.

 

Coaching is included as a member benefit.  There is no additional charge.
