Experience the fun of rowing with a free beginners’ taste of rowing during National Learn to Row Day on Saturday, June 6, in Olympia’s Budd Inlet. The event is for high-school age youth and adults.
Thurston County’s local rowing club, Olympia Area Rowing (OAR), will be offering tours of the OAR boathouse, practice on dry land with a cool ergonomic rowing machine, and a 40 minute adventure on the waters of lower Budd Inlet. Participants will be mixed with experienced rowers in a boat of eight people, along with an instructor.
What a great way to kick-off the summer and try something new with this fun exhilarating physical water activity! To participate, visit the OAR boathouse (1022 Marine Dr. NE, 98501) between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. on Saturday, June 6, to sign up for a one-hour slot. Time slots are limited and will be filled on a first come first served basis. Participants are encouraged to arrive early to secure their spot.
A sixteen year-old organization with strong traditions, OAR promotes recreational and competitive rowing for adults and youth in the community, fostering sportsmanship, teamwork, athleticism and camaraderie.
