Held at the Caspersen Rowing Center, a US Olympic Training Site for Rowing, PNRA's Resolute Racing Camp is a program designed to improve the sweep ability of high school aged boys and girls. The atmosphere is relaxed enough to be fun and informative but tough enough to challenge one both mentally and physically!

US Olympic Coach Mike Teti speaks to Resolute Campers on aspects of being successful within the sport of rowing. His Men's Eight won a Gold Medal in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and a Bronze Medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
