EXPERIENCE THE "3 Cs" OF ORC ROWING:
Camaraderie, Competition, and Conditioning
  • ORC rowers develop tight bonds and lifelong friendships. They depend on and support their teammates and work together as a single unit.
  • ORC rowers compete and have a long history of success at the highest levels, against teams from Ohio, the Midwest, and across the United States.
  • ORC rowers, through dedication and conditioning, develop an elite level of fitness, strength, mental fortitude, and a strong sense of accomplishment.

Offering a Path to Collegiate Rowing


ORC rowers have thrived at many NCAA programs including Ohio State, Virginia, Texas, Wisconsin, Syracuse, San Diego, Indiana, Michigan State, Tennessee, Stetson, and many more! All of them first learned to row during their middle or high school years.
