international sculler. James has represented the US in the Under 23 World

Rowing Education,
Sweep Camps, Sculling Clinics, Safety, Coaching Development, more, more, more
Jim Dietz, Mark Wilson,
Alex Binkowski and the rest of our staff want to be sure that the rowing
community operates in a safe and fun environment. We are exploring
options to coordinate our rowing camps and clinics with USRowing Coaching
Education and with the Foundation for Rowing Education to promote safety and
to promote the education of newer coaches, coxswains and rowers alike.
Please consider a camp in your town to be a 'mini' convention and envision a
more encompassing local experience. We can provide safety launch
certification, clinics designed for coxswains of all levels, safe truck and
trailer driving classes and so much more. Just ask How!!
