Experience Rowing

Enjoy the fun of rowing on the beautiful Mississippi! This 3-hour class is designed to give you a feel for rowing team boats. Tour the boathouse, learn the rowing stroke, then head out on the water in our safe and stable rowing barge. A coach will be with you every step of the way. Our stretch of the Mississippi is home to bald eagles, falcons, beavers, and foxes, so when you aren’t rowing, there’s plenty to see!


Class size: 6-10 rowers
Age minimum: 12, and rowers ages 12-17 must attend with a parent or guardian
Cost: $75 per seat

2022 Dates and registration coming soon!

Gift Certificates available ($75):    Click here


Experience Rowing Private Group

Schedule your own 3-hour Experience Rowing class! Reserve the whole barge on date that works for you. A private group is ideal for family reunions, book clubs, and birthday, retirement or graduation parties. Minimum class size is 6, and the barge can accomodate up to 12 rowers.
Cost: $600
 



Ready, Row!

Get in a real boat!  You'll learn rowing basics and get out on the river in an 8 person shell (boat) with trained rowers and a coxswain.  Your coach will be along side in a motorboat providing inspiration and instruction (and maybe a race!).  These shells are the real thing used in regattas!  This is a 3-hour, very fun and educational option for groups including cross-fit gyms and sports teams - you'll get a work out and learn proper 'rowing machine' technique. At a minimum, we recommend participants be able to sustain moderate exercise for 20 minutes. 

Cost: $600 per boat, minimum 4, maximum 6
At this time, Ready, Row! is not being offered for purchase on an individual seat basis.
Multiple boats = exponentially more the fun (and racing competition!)
