STEM TO STERN

We are proud of our Feeding Rowers and Coxswains program, which allows us to buy and bring food to practice, sometimes with the help of our rowers’ parents — from small snacks to full meals. Our athletes burn a lot of calories, so we help them refuel.

What rowers and parents say about Casitas Rowing …

— Bailey (Junior Rower)

“Casitas Rowing has introduced me to my closest friends, and prepared me for collegiate rowing beyond my imagination. The coaches there pushed me and I am so thankful. I now am a Scholarship Athlete with a Division I Rowing Team in California and I feel 100% prepared. I can’t simply put into a few short sentences how much being at casitas has taught me, and the lessons I’ve learned being there. When I was at the lake, I felt I was home. It changed my life and if there’s any sport I recommend, it’s rowing.”


— Elliot (2-year Casitas Rowing Athlete)

“Casitas Rowing really helped me mature and grow as a person through the hard work that is required daily. The coaching staff there are some of the best in the country; they want to see you succeed and will help you do so as long as you are willing to put in the work. Rowing as a sport is very rewarding in that the work you are willing to put in will determine how successful you are. Beyond that, it’s a great way to meet new people, expand your college opportunities, and learn valuable life lessons that you will use for the rest of your life.”

— Parent

“Our involvement with The Casitas Rowing program has been an outstanding one.  We have had two children go through the program. The opportunity exists for every athlete to excel. The training routines, motivating practices, individual feedback from coaches, and emphasis on nutrition all play a part in making our rowers very competitive. The supporting role of the parents in this program cannot be underestimated. We have made lifelong friends and have enjoyed watching our children grow and push themselves beyond what we thought possible. Casitas Rowing is a wonderful program!”
