Director Wendy Gillett gives presentation for USRowing and Stem to Stern on details of Casitas Rowing’s successful Middle School ERG CHALLENGE. This outreach program has helped transform their ability to expose our unique sport to over 3500 kids every year.

USRowing selected Casitas Rowing to talk about what works, what doesn’t, and the entire process of partnering with school administrators, creating curriculum, promoting, and what all is needed to knock it out of the park and grow the sport.

Casitas Rowing goes into PE classes for 5 middle schools in our Ventura Unified School District, bring excitement for sports in general, and an opportunity to try the rowing machines and race. Middle schools competing this year were Anacapa, Matilija, DATA, Sunset, and Cabrillo.

*** This year’s points trophy for the Middle School Erg Challenge went to Carbillo Middle School, congrats to the students and teachers on all your hard work!
