More than racing

Events

From local regattas to team celebrations, SCAR events bring our rowers, families, and community together. Whether we’re racing, volunteering, fundraising, or celebrating a season of hard work, every event helps build the teamwork, friendships, and spirit that make Seminole County Area Rowing special.

Catch & Connect

@ The Escape ventures

The crew behind the crew deserves a night out, too.

This month, we’re planning to head to The Escape Ventures in Waterford Lakes for a fun evening of conversation, connection, and a little friendly competition!

Join fellow SCAR parents for a 60-minute escape room experience where we can get together, have some fun, and enjoy a night away from the regatta schedules, carpool planning, and everyday team responsibilities.

Whether you're new to SCAR or have spent years cheering from the shoreline, this is a chance to get to know the amazing parents who help make our club possible.

Please check GroupMe for registration and event details.

We hope you'll join us for a fun evening and a chance to connect with the SCAR parents who make our rowing community so special!

Oar Blades & Blades

Trade your oar blades for carving blades and carve out some fall fun!

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!

Ho Ho! Row!

Good friends. Great cookies. One crew. Happy holidays!

'Tis the season to celebrate with your SCAR crew! Join us for Ho Ho Row!, our annual holiday gathering filled with festive fun, friendly competition, and plenty of holiday cheer. Athletes are invited to bring their favorite homemade cookies for our SCAR Cookie Contest & Exchange—show off your baking skills, vote for your favorites, and take home a variety of treats from your teammates.

We'll also enjoy a White Elephant Gift Exchange, a festive Hot Chocolate Bar loaded with toppings, and a special Alumni Row, where former SCAR athletes can hop back in a boat and reunite with old teammates. Whether you're here for the cookies, the gifts, the rowing, or just the chance to celebrate with friends, this is the perfect way to wrap up the year together.

Come hungry, come festive, and come ready for a holly-jolly good time with your SCAR family!
