Our Adirondack Rowing School is for individuals that are serious about learning the best sculling technique in a fraction of the time of the weekend or week long sculling camps. The Adirondack Rowing School is where you can learn the best sculling technique in the shortest amount of time while saving the most money.

We are the oldest and the only rowing school in the nation where you can receive the best individualized rowing and sculling instruction with the most fun, courteous and skilled staff, while at the same time trying all the best open water rowing shells and sliding seat family boats side by side.

As a result, every year our rowing school has grown due to our high quality one on one instruction and the unique provision of comprehensive product comparison. Because of this, we encourage individuals considering lessons or demonstrations to make reservations with us as early as possible. As summer gets underway in June, July and August, the rowing school is run daily and at times becomes difficult to schedule “drop-ins”; Although we try to accommodate everyone, it is not always possible.

Our Rowing School is located in the Adirondacks, run April through November by appointment only.

• Learn to scull technically correct in the shortest period of time.
• Individual and small group lessons in the best technically oriented sculling styles.
• Sculling time in the best open water rowing shells in the world . . . side by side for immediate comparison.

We invite you to compare our lesson rates to those of other sports. You could easily spend $400 on a ski lesson by the time you purchase lift tickets, rent skis, and pay for the lesson itself. We don’t charge for the use of our equipment, and you’re certainly free to use the lake as much as you want free-of-charge. We charge only for our instructor’s time and for our expense of renting the shoreline where we teach. Please know Adirondack Rowing reserves the right to refuse rowing lessons and rentals to any individual.
