Wabash Valley Crew Rowing Club

📢📢While we were grateful to have stayed safe during yesterday's storms, we unfortunately need to cancel this weekend's open row due to the river conditions. 🌊🌊

We will have our next open row July 18th

Had a fantastic Learn to Row Camp last week! By the numbers we had
1️⃣Great day indoors at Union Health Center for Fitness and Performance, learning the basics to prepare for the water. Thank you as always for allowing us to use your beautiful facilities!
2️⃣ Current college rowers help out - Go Purdue Crew ! Our kids love seeing what rowing at the next level could look like 🏆🏆
3️⃣ WVC Alumni 👨‍🎓- it's always great when they come back to visit and exciting to experience their passion for the club and how it has impacted their lives
4️⃣ Current WVC Rowers who stepped in to coaching roles for the week, setting the boats, coxing, and teaching form and fun! 🚣‍♀️🚣
5️⃣ Community members who ensure the equipment is up to s***f and ready to row! We could not do it without them 🛶🛟🔧🪛🔩
6️⃣ Campers who brought great attitudes and had a blast learning how to row and what it means to be part of WVC!🌞

What a great week seeing how the Wabash Valley community and rowing communities come together!

Our Learn to Row Camp is in full swing on the water after a day indoors, learning basics on the rowing machines. The kids are excited to finish out the week working to move the boat together!

Due to the flooding on the Wabash with recent storms, we've had to adjust locations to the Lazy L, and are so grateful for their support! Our program would not be able to continue to grow in this way without them. If you're looking for a way to cool off this summer - be sure to check out their great swim set up including their inflatable water park!

This weekend, hundreds of people were introduced to the sport of rowing through the movie The Boys in the Boat as part of the "At the Movies" series at Maryland Community Church

While the film tells the remarkable story of a rowing team overcoming adversity and achieving something greater than themselves, Sunday's message focused on an even bigger theme: UNITY.

One of the most powerful lessons in rowing is that a boat only moves at its best when every person surrenders the good of themselves for the good of everyone else in the boat. Like in rowing, together we have the power to create access, opportunity, and advancement for everyone when we choose to "Carry each other's burdens" (Galatians 6:2).

We are grateful to Maryland Community Church for sharing the story of rowing with their congregation and for highlighting the values that make both great crews and strong communities possible.

If you haven't seen it, we highly recommend checking it out.

The Boys In The Boat The Boys in the Boat" is a sports drama based on the #1 New York Ti...

Exciting things continue to happen along the Wabash Riverfront.

Join us as we celebrate a major milestone for Wabash Valley Crew and the future of river recreation in our community with the groundbreaking of the new boathouse at Fairbanks Park.
