Our Try Rowing program includes four coached sessions on the Little Arkansas River alongside WRA members. Experienced coaches will accompany each session in a launch boat to provide instruction, guidance, encouragement, and ensure a safe experience for everyone on the water. Whether you're looking for a new fitness activity, a recreational hobby, or a competitive challenge, rowing offers something for everyone. |

Join WRA — Try Rowing is FREEBecome a WRA member before completing your program and receive $99 off your annual membership — making Try Rowing completely free while unlocking unlimited coached sessions year-round. Note: Weather cancellations will be rescheduled. No refunds, but sessions run May–August so you'll have time to complete all four. |
CancellationsCancellation due to weather WRA makes every effort to provide you with a safe and enjoyable session at the planned time. However, sometimes weather or river conditions force us to reschedule on short notice. The coach will contact you via email if the session needs to be cancelled due to weather and ask you to attend a different session. If you have questions feel free to email our Coach. Cancellation by student WRA has a no refund policy as sessions are available from May through August. |
