Join SCAR at the 28th Annual Celebration of Freedom as we set up our community booth and share the excitement of rowing with Seminole County. Stop by to meet our athletes and coaches, learn more about our program, and test your skills in our erg race challenge. We’re excited to connect with the community, spread the word about SCAR, and introduce more families to the sport we love.

Kick off the back-to-rowing camp season with a fun team pool and movie night featuring Heart of Champions. SCAR rowers will relax by the pool, hang out with teammates, and get inspired for the season ahead with a movie all about teamwork, grit, and rowing. It’s the perfect way to reconnect, build excitement for camp season, and make some summer memories before getting back on the water.

Experienced 8th-12th grade rowers — don’t miss your chance to stay sharp this summer with our Advanced Racing Camp, culminating at the Halifax Summer Regatta in Daytona Beach. This camp is designed for competitive rowers looking to maintain fitness, improve speed and technique, and stay in race shape heading into the next season. Train alongside teammates, sharpen your race plans, and finish the week competing against other Florida crews on the water.

Experienced 8th-12th grade rowers — this is your chance to take your racing to the next level this summer. Our Advanced Sculling Camp is designed for experienced rowers who want to sharpen technique, build speed, and gain more confidence in small boats before the fall season begins. Sculling develops boat feel, balance, power application, and overall rowing skill in ways that directly improve sweep performance too. Stay race-ready, train with your teammates, and keep building momentum all summer long.

Varsity conditioning is officially underway as SCAR athletes begin preparing for another competitive season on the water. These summer sessions focus on rebuilding endurance, strength, teamwork, and race fitness before fall practices begin. It’s time to get back into a routine, reconnect with teammates, and lay the foundation for a strong season ahead.

Join fellow SCAR parents for an evening of conversation, connection, and community at Spill Wine & Craft Beer Bar in Winter Springs. Whether you're new to the team or have spent years cheering from the shoreline, this is a chance to get to know the amazing parents who make our club possible.

​

Leave the regatta schedules and carpool planning behind for a few hours and enjoy a relaxed night of good company, shared stories, and plenty of laughs. Strong teams are built on strong relationships, and that includes the families behind our athletes.

We hope you'll join us for a fun evening as we catch up, make new connections, and continue building the SCAR community—one conversation at a time.​

Join fellow SCAR athletes and parents for a Clean Sweep at the Boatyard as we work together to keep our home on Lake Jessup looking its best.

Whether you can stay for an hour or the entire event, every helping hand makes a difference. Bring work gloves, a positive attitude, and your crew spirit as we pitch in to make our boatyard cleaner, safer, and stronger for everyone.

We've spent all morning sharpening our strokes—now it's time to sharpen some carving tools! Join us after practice from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a gourd time at Oar Blades & Blades, SCAR's pumpkin-packed Halloween celebration. Athletes, siblings, and parents are invited to trade their oars for carving blades, bob for apples, compete in spooky games, and see who can create the most boat-tiful jack-o'-lantern.

Whether you're a master carver or just along for the pumpkin spice, this is a chance to relax, laugh, and enjoy some fang-tastic fun with your SCAR crew. Feel free to bring a favorite fall treat to share—spiced cider, pumpkin goodies, caramel apples, or any harvest-inspired snack. Participation is completely optional, but sharing a few seasonal treats is a great way to make this event even sweeter.

​

No tricks, just treats, teammates, and plenty of Halloween spirit!
