PHILADELPHIA – Temple University Athletics successfully hosted the Councilman Curtis Jones Rowing Camp the week of July 31 at the East Park Canoe House, home of the Temple Crew and Rowing programs.
"Temple University was happy to support Councilman Curtis Jones and share in this great community rowing camp," said Temple Assistant Vice President for Government Affairs and Civic Engagement George Kenney. "I want to thank our rowers and coaches from the men's crew and women's rowing team for making this a special week for these young children from our community. It truly was a special event."
Coaches and student-athletes from both programs welcomed approximately 30 campers, ages 10-12, to Temple University and the East Park Canoe Boathouse. Throughout the week-long event, children were provided a tour of the main campus and training on the proper technique to row a shell on the river. The five-day camp culminated on Friday, August 4 when the campers raced against boats manned by city council staffers from the office of Councilman Jones, O'Neill, and Phillips as well as Temple staffers and alums.
"This is always a great experience, not just for the campers who get to learn a new sport and spend time at campus and on the Schuylkill River, but also for our staff and current Temple rowers as well," said Temple Women's Rowing Head Coach Rebecca Grzybowski. "Being able to share the sport we all love in this way is special and rewarding. The energy and excitement from the campers is contagious and I feel that our coaches and student-athletes got as much out of this week as our newest rowers!"
