NOTE: If interested in other 2010 or 2011 camp dates at Hontoon, Please contact Mark. We are working with Hontoon to expand rowing in Central Florida.  We are happy to arrange private camps for 4-12 people or private lessons for 1-4 people on a daily basis.

Training Programs for Individual master rowers and teams has been requested by our campers for several years and now we are ready.  Jim and Mark are happy to announce that Marc DeRose is joining our staff as Director of Training.  He comes to our staff with many years of highly competitive rowing and coaching; including the U23 lightweight men, UMass Men, Columbia Lightweight, University of Central Florida women and now he as moved to Miami to help Andrew Carter rebuild the University of Miami's program.

Training programs are not just a set of numbers, sets of work at certain rates and splits but should be considered a path to a goal.  Every training program needs to have a Goal and every Goal must be attainable.  Marc and the rest of the staff will work with you as an individual to help you fully realize your potential on the water.  Rowing the erg, lifting weights, cross training, rowing properly, and eating correctly are all part of the plan.  Continued and personal updates of your training along with video analysis of your technique will only make you better, more efficient, more effective and ultimately faster down the racecourse.

Contact Mark Wilson for more details on how to get started.  We are up and running with programs for individuals as well as groups working toward the same goal.
