OAR offers three Learn to Row two-week sessions every summer. So how long exactly have the OAR masters been rowing together at Dexter Lake?Coming soon - who has rowed with us over the years.... Adult Crew: History & Alumni | Junior RowingIn the spring of 1984, a handful of rowers formed the South Eugene Rowing Club (SERC), and entered its first race that fall -- with borrowed UO equipment. Despite steady growth, it was 1995 before they could purchase their first boat. In 2000, SERC joined with OAR -- then a masters-only program -- and created OAR Junior Crew. While expanding to include from 30 to 80 athletes from ALL area schools, additional coaching staff has provided a greater athlete-to-rower ratio.  www.OARjrCrew.orgA club sport, OAR Junior Crew provides an opportunity for local teenagers to experience rowing in the sleek racing shells familiar to the Northeast. Most fall and spring afternoons, our athletes "pull together" at Dexter Lake, having fun and getting in great shape. While winter training and bus transportation is based at South Eugene High School, this year's fifty-plus athletes hail from nine different schools. No prior experience, athletic prowess, or tryouts are required – just commitment! Curious teens can "dip their toes" into the world of rowing during OAR Junior Crew's optional summer program. With numerous local events, competing in several regattas each year, and daily practices, the athletes build strong friendships, respect, and lasting bonds. OAR Jr. Crew has sent rowers all over the country. It is exciting to watch opportunities open up for our rowers as they are recruited by universities and colleges. www.OARjrCrew.org is where you'll find complete and current information about our coaching staff, this season's regattas, summer rowing opportunities, our calendar, more pictures, scholarships, parent information, academic agreements, important documents and much more! www.OARjrCrew.orgYou can also check out OAR Jr Crew's latest Newsletter, and you can even find us on Facebook.
