The Oak Ridge Rowing Association offers rowing instruction to athletes of all ages and skill levels, from the recreational athlete to high level competitive pursuits.

ADAPTIVE - It is our goal to ensure that anyone who wants to try the sport of rowing has the opportunity to do so, regardless of any physical or mental challenges. The Oak Ridge Rowing Association Adaptive Rowing Program includes springtime classes, culminating in a Special Olympics rowing event for all participants. We use a variety of specialized equipment to ensure additional stability for the rowers while not preventing them from experiencing the exhilaration of being on the water. If youíd like more information or know someone who might want to participate, contact the boathouse.

SUMMER YOUTH CAMPS - If your son or daughter is not yet in high school, but would like to try out rowing, we offer a summer rowing camp for junior high school-aged participants (rising 7th and 8th students). The camp is normally held in June of each year.

COLLEGE - Oak Ridge offers credited classes from local colleges from Pellissippi CC, and Roane State CC. For More information contact you registrars office.

JUNIORS - Each fall and spring, the Association invites youth in grades 8-12 to be participants and join the Association's junior Program. This is a great opportunity to improve your cardiovascular ability and develop teamwork skills. Many former Oak Ridge rowers have gone on to participate in collegiate rowing programs around the country. If your son or daughter is interested in trying out a new sport, contact ORRA.

MASTERS Oak Ridge offers three levels of rowing instruction for adults (Masters 27 years and up). LEARN TO ROW - Our beginning classes teach you the fundamentals of boat handling, water safety, and the basic rowing stroke. You can then move to our intermediate program where you continue to improve basic skills and technique as they pertain to the sport. Our advanced level rowing program offer adults the ability to prepare for masters level racing.
