Gentle Giant Rowing Club : Blessing of the Bay Boathouse

Have you ever wondered about the sport of rowing?
Now is your chance to check it out!&nbsp; On Saturday, June 6th from 10am-1pm, you can come down to Gentle Giant Rowing Club in Somerville and take some strokes.&nbsp; Rowing is the ultimate team sport and GGRC is conveniently located on the Mystic River in Somerville, MA - right off of the Mystic Ave Exit on Rt 93 and about a 15 minute walk from the Assembly Row Orange Line station.
When you come down, you’ll first learn some basics on our RowErgs and then head down to the dock where you’ll get in our training barge or one of our boats.&nbsp; Our rowers and coaching staff will guide you through your first strokes in a “sweep” boat and you’ll then have an opportunity to take some sculling strokes in one of our training singles - they will have pontoons on them for stability to keep you dry.
Rowing isn’t just about the sport, it’s also about the community.&nbsp; Rowers are supportive of each other both on and off the water.&nbsp; You’ll find that our club is friendly and welcoming to new members with learn to row classes throughout the summer - for adults and youth!
<ul><li>Summer Youth Rowing starts on June 15th - 8th through 12th grade</li><li>Middle School Rowing camp starts on July 27</li><li>Adult Learn to Row Sweep - May 26th &amp;&nbsp;Week of July 6th</li><li>Adult Learn to Row Sculling - May 26th&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;June 23rd&nbsp;</li><li>More LTR&nbsp;Sessions Available - Checkout our site! </li><li>Experienced Sessions Start every 4 Weeks</li></ul>
Already know how to row and want to get back into a boat?&nbsp; Reach out to us and we’ll get you back on the water.&nbsp; Some of our rowers have taken years away from the sport and have been able to get right back into it.
Let us know if you have any questions.&nbsp; Pre-registration is recommended.&nbsp; You do not have to be there for the full 3 hours - stop by anytime from 10am-1pm for your opportunity to discover rowing and the Mystic River!
