Former Olympian and World Class Head Coach Francisco Viacava and his staff will challenge all rowers and coxswains to reach their highest potential both sweeping and sculling. Coach Viacava has consistently placed athletes in the best colleges in the nation and is highly regarded by the rowing community as one of the top Coaches in juniors programs. The camp curriculum is designed to improve fundamental rowing technique, the mental aspects of racing & training, and overall strength & flexibility.

All boys and girls freshman, novice, junior varsity and varsity rowers, of any rowing club or high school are welcome to join. The camp is designed for both the experienced and novice high school rower (grades 8th - 12th) looking to significantly improve their rowing ability. Instruction and coaching will be geared to the experience level and talents of each camper. We are planning add-on afternoon sessions including, but not limited to: cox clinic, nutrition, strength and conditioning training, and Pilates.

The camp will be held at one of the most beautiful facilities in the country, the Ronald W Shane Watersports Center in Miami Beach, home to the Miami Beach Rowing Club, the University of Miami and Barry University Rowing Teams. The recently renovated Shane Center houses a complete fitness center, including a Concept II ERG room, a weight training equipment room, a locker room and showers. During the sessions the facility will be used exclusively by the MBRC summer camp and home crews, giving full attention to the campers. The facility is located on the calm waters of Indian Creek. The second floor offers a spectacular new meeting and events space with a full catering kitchen for both rowing events as well as private functions.
