2025 Sculling Interns

The docks are de-iced and sculling camps begin in just a few weeks. As we prepare for sculling season, we’re excited to announce this summer’s roster of interns! The sculling internship program offers high school and college students an opportunity to help out at sculling camps while working on their own rowing skills.
