Florida

The Boys and Girls Rowing teams will travel to Orlando, FL during our March spring break for a week of preseason training.  The primary purpose of this trip is to engage in the necessary training for a successful spring season, but the true value lies in the opportunities for the team to begin developing their shared goals and values, to have conversations with one another that time or schedule might not permit while on campus, and to establish a standard of behavior and accountability that will support a positive and productive season.  Much of each day will be committed to training, however there will be time for team activities that are social and fun while also providing opportunities for student leadership and reflection.
