Camp Thunderbird

Athletes 9-11th that attended one of our Learn to Row summer camps. Athletes who could not make it to a summer camp are welcome to try rowing this weekend. 

9-11th Graders Only 

CYR has a limited roster size due to the location we row out of. Due to this constraint we will have new athletes try out for the team over this weekend.  

What we will  be looking for: 

Coach-ability, general athletic potential, competitiveness, positive “I can do it”, “I will try it” attitude, sportsmanship, and team player mentality. Overall, would fit with our CYR team culture of Attitude. Effort. Be a GREAT CYR Teammate. 

Athletes who sign up for Camp Thunderbird should read over all our FAQ page. 

Signing up for Camp Thunderbird indicates an interest and commitment to participate in the entire rowing season,  fall and/or spring.  It is still an opportunity for new athletes to learn how to row but we hope athletes who have a strong interest in rowing this fall, join us. 

Athletes who do not attend Camp Thunderbird will not be allowed to register for the fall season.
