New TRAINING CAMP destination in the USA!
We've added a new spot in North America! Lake Leelanau in Michigan has 29,000 meters of rowable water, a lovely, campy place to relax, and high-level coaches to help you out!
The camps are 5-day experiences (unlike our usual 7 days) but offer the same goals: improve your rowing in a beautiful spot and have a fantastic time while doing so!
Coach Viktor Grebennykov has quite the resume as a competitive rower. Originally from the Ukraine, Grebennykov is a former world champion and was a top 10 finalist at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
After a successful career in the sport, Grebennykov now dedicates his time to teaching young rowers in northern Michigan with the Lake Leelanau Rowing Club.
“I am really proud to work with these kids because they all are talented and they have a lot of patience about their rowing and they want to row and they listen,” Grebennykov said. “They are not wasting time and I appreciate it.”
The camp offers sculling and sweep lessons and programs for full teams, small groups, Masters, Juniors, families, couples, or individuals. All participants row on beautiful Lake Leelanau out of Historical Fountain Point Resort on the northern end of South Lake Leelanau.
