Camp Camp is back in 2024! Our annual trip is the perfect kick-off to the 2024-25 rowing season — a weekend full of rowing, training, socialising, and fun! Come along, try something new (like the infamous capsize drill), and get to know your fellow club members, new and old.
CAMP CAMP 2024
When: 5:00pm Friday 13 September, 2024 to Sunday 15 September, 2024
Where: Nagambie Caravan Park & Nagambie Lakes Regatta Centre
Theme: Strokes and Sashes (a fun and glamorous pageant theme)
ACTIVITIES
Lots! The club coaches are preparing a two-day program of rowing activities that will take advantage of the Goulburn River and Regatta course, across all boat types and skill levels, with plenty of opportunities to try something new in a safe and supportive environment. The program of rowing will be delivered by our coaches to registered Camp Camp participants. All boat allocations are made by the coaches, and in the registration section, you'll be asked what your training goals for Camp Camp are so we can plan to achieve them with you.
The organising team has been busy putting together a schedule of social activities across all three days of the camp, where you'll be able to relax and have fun with your club pals, new and old. One of the highlights will be our Runway Show where you can showcase your pageant-ready looks. Get creative with your outfits and enjoy the fun of strutting your stuff!
