EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP – USRowing and the Viking Rowing Club of Ventnor will be hosting a Beach Sprint Identification Camp Aug. 16-17 at Seaview Beach Marina on Somers Point-Longport Boulevard. The high-performance event offers a unique opportunity for regional athletes to engage with one of rowing’s most exciting and fastest growing disciplines.
Located in Atlantic County just minutes from Longport, Margate, Ventnor and Atlantic City, the camp is designed to identify emerging talent for future international competition in coastal rowing.
The Beach Sprint ID Camp will provide advanced technical instruction, sprint-focused training and hands-on experience with head-to-head beach sprint racing.
