All Learn To Row sessions are held on the Mississippi River at the MBC boathouse on Raspberry Island in downtown St. Paul. In the Learn To Row program, you will learn basic rowing technique, water traffic patterns and proper handling of equipment. Former rowers will benefit from the class as a refresher course. The session will begin in the boathouse, then onto the water in a safe rowing boat under the close supervision of a qualified instructor.

The majority of the class time is spent on the water to give students the maximum opportunity to develop their skills. Team rowing will be emphasized as single rowing will not be taught in the class. Please note that rowing instructors will determine if weather and/or river condition will allow safe rowing in rowing shells.
