Oak Hollow Lake: High Point Rowing Club will host a one-week Power Camp for Triad area high school students who have already competed one year in another sport. This fast-paced one-week camp is designed for students seeking to ultimately play an NCAA sport in college and earn a potential scholarship. (Statistics)
NO PRIOR EXPERIENCE IN ROWING IS REQUIRED.
During each session, participants will learn the fundamentals of rowing. Potential rowers will learn about the sport, equipment, and terminology, as well as the training required to compete on a collegiate varsity rowing squad. All athletes will participate in both land and water workouts on Oak Hollow Lake.
“These is an intense one week clinic on what it takes to get a scholarship into a university like Harvard or Carolina,” says chief coach Gene Kininmonth, who guided first year High Point rowers Katie Ognovich and Catherine Thompson to scholarships at the Universities of Oklahoma and Wisconsin this fall.
Kininmonth says that many high school students reach their maximum potential in other sports in high school and realize they are just not going to reach the levels needed to play in college. “Rowing is the perfect sport for these talented athletes to transfer to because the opportunities to compete in college are so great.”
