PNRA- Resolute Racing Camp

Sponsored by Resolute Racing Shells

The PNRA/Resolute Racing Camp held at the US Rowing Training Site 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! 

PNRA/Resolute Racing Camp is for high school athletes, both boys and girls, with a minimum of one season of sweep rowing or coxing experience. 

US Olympic Coach Mike Teti speaks to Resolute Campers on aspects of being successful within the sport of rowing. 

His 2008 Men’s Eight won a Bronze Medal in Bejing China.
