Camp Lucy is a free 10-day learn-to-row camp for girls, inclusive of non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming youth, that uses rowing as a way to learn social-emotional skills and life skills. Inspired by the legacy of Lucy Pocock, Camp Lucy uses fitness and interactive activities to help campers learn about themselves as individuals and as part of a greater team. As Camp Lucy participants learn to try new things, they will gain an "I Can Do That!" mentality, and recognize the many ways that they are strong, powerful, supported, and brave!
"Sport is a fun way to develop confidence and foster mental wellbeing. I'd like to see more people find that special thing that keeps them active, especially early on. My hope is that Camp Lucy participants find there what I've found in this sport."
Husand and wife team ROW MODELS (Mark and Brielle Hutchison) will be rowing 26.LU together. We'll try to get as close as we can to that Marathon distance by switching off, relay style, on one rower.
