Community Learn to Row, Caspersen Rowing Center

Saturday June 14, 2025
8:00 AM - 12:00 PM

This year Community Learn to Row Event is taking place on Saturday, June 14 at the Caspersen Rowing Center. There is a waiver that you'll need to sign and bring with you. Please be sure to write your name legibly as well as sign it. You can list PNRA/Mercer as the Organization (or leave blank). There will be extra waivers at the venue in case you forget. Please be sure a parent/guardian signs for all participants under the age of 18.

There will be three sessions throughout the morning between 8am and 1:30pm. Please Register Here to choose a time slot that works for you. Please come dressed in athletic wear and bring sneakers or closed toe shoes. Shorts and a t-shirt are fine, just nothing too baggy as loose clothing can get stuck in the wheels of the seat that you sit on. I recommend a hat or visor, sunglasses and sunscreen! You can bring a water bottle if you have one (we have a water fill station at the boathouse), but you cannot bring a metal or hard plastic water bottle in the boat with you as it can damage the inside of the boat. TIP: you can put a sock on a hard water bottle and bring that with you. The address is 1 South Post Rd in Princeton Junction. Please follow the signs for the Caspersen Rowing Center. Note that the speed limit is 25 mph on the access road. The road is fairly narrow and there are pedestrians and bikers who regularly use the road. PLEASE DRIVE SLOWLY AND SAFELY - especially around the corner as you enter the parking area.
