How the pathway works

Each Learn to Scull class is four sessions over two weekends. After your class, the most common next step is Phase 2: the fixed four-week Open Sculling Program Trial for $110 or $85 student/vet. Full AARC membership is required before you can register for the trial or sign up for practices. After that, you can continue for the rest of the summer if you want more supported practice.
